Introduction
1.The Education and Libraries (Northern Ireland) 2003 Order (“the Order”) was made on 27th February 2003. The memorandum has been prepared by the Department of Education in order to assist the reader in understanding the Order. It does not form part of the Order and has not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.The memorandum needs to be read in conjunction with the Order. It is not, and is not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Order. So where an Article or paragraph does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
