Mr. Paul Hannigan:

To support that, and in answer to the question on further education, we deliberately set up the cluster to include the further education providers, Donegal ETB and the North West Regional College to ensure there would be opportunities for everybody in the region and that we could develop the progression routes we spoke about. That is a very important part of what we do.

To echo Professor Ó Néill's point on the socioeconomic profile, between 65% and 75% of the students at LYIT are in receipt of SUSI grants. We know what we are doing in the context of providing opportunities and giving students a chance to take one step up and work locally, if they wish, in the industrial base we are supporting, while also encouraging them to travel and engage elsewhere in the hope they will return at some stage. In Donegal, they tend to. It is just a matter of trying to develop this and engendering the spirit I describe in students as they graduate from the colleges.
