The scrutinising of the Stormont Education Minister’s departmental social media post from his trip to Israel is a “matter for the head of the civil service”, the Assembly has heard.

Paul Givan told MLAs on Monday that the permanent secretary from his department reviewed the matter and gave him a “clean bill of health”.
