Future of OECs to be debated in Stormont

The future of three outdoor education centres here will be debated at Stormont today.

The Education Authority recommended Killowen, Ardnabannon and Delamont be axed next year in a bid to reduce costs.
The centres are used mainly by schools, sports clubs and for outdoor pursuits.
If the EA pushes forward with proposals the first closure could happen as early as March.
