The Enniskillen equestrian college is a good example of that. It has 50-50 North-South students. It has developed a niche course. I do think of green energy and the courses that can be done there, specifically to attract people in. I hope that the Cassells report will address the funding model we have for third level and the issues that are there that prevent some of the third level institutions from being as creative and innovative as they might be, were the core funding to be looked at, so that we are not always looking at international students as cash cows and that we look right across the island for the opportunities that are there.
I am pleased that Mr. Clancy has such an interest in the all-island strategic rail review. The western rail corridor and the developments there will be hugely important for us in the west in giving us the connectivity.
Our 15 minutes is up. I thank Mr. Clancy for the work he is doing.
