Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Cross-Border Further and Higher Education Sectors: Discussion

Ms Michelle Gildernew:

I think Professor Ó Néill's contribution might be the first time someone got Ardboe into the Official Report, so I congratulate him on that. As the MP for Fermanagh South Tyrone, I am very keen on the medical school in Magee which has been covered significantly. I believe it will be transformative. My constituency needs to see doctors and medical professionals who want to work and live in the west. It is very important from our perspective.

I want to ask about the other barriers. Every so often, someone will write to me about student funding where they are living on one side of the Border and studying on the other. Is there anything we should raise or do about that?
