Professor Christopher McCrudden:

As Dr. Farry knows from being in Belfast, Queen's University, along with UCL and Ulster University, has always tried to build a neutral atmosphere for exactly those kinds of discussions - and with some success. He will hardly get any disagreement with us on the necessity for academics to provide a helping hand at least in this kind of area. One of the strengths of Northern Irish academic life is the engagement that academics have had in very practical problem-solving as well as more esoteric discussions.
