The education minister has told MLAs that it may be necessary to close schools to protect the education of pupils, on 13 February 2012. John O'Dowd was answering questions about the recently published schools viability audit, which he said showed, "the overall picture is a serious one." Patsy McGlone of the SDLP said the audit had effectively put a notice of closure on schools, especially in rural areas. The minister said the threat was not to schools but to the education of young people. "If the right thing to do is to close the school to protect the educational attainment of young people that's the action that will be carried out," he added. Mr O'Dowd was asked for his opinion on an OECD report that criticised academic selection. He said he was opposed to academic selection and would continue to work to end it. "If we had a world class education system we would have a world class economy," he added. Earlier, Culture Minister Caral Ni Chuilin told MLAs she was awaiting the result of negotiations that could see the securing of significant film productions to Northern Ireland in the coming year. Ms Ni Chuilin was replying to a question from the SDLP's Conall McDevitt regarding the Oscar success of the short film, "The Shore." Following a question concerning the 400th anniversary of Coleraine in County Londonderry, independent unionist MLA David McClarty asked whether the minister would support the reversion to the original name, County Coleraine. The minister said she would support any member who wished to see the addition of a 33rd county to Ireland. Sinn Fein's Phil Flanagan asked about the measures that could be taken to protect the wild Atlantic salmon. Ms Ni Chuilin indicated that a number of measures could be considered including limiting the times when salmon could be caught, shortening the season, decreasing the number of fish that could be caught, and the use of barbless hooks at all times.
