Professor Ciar?n ? h?gartaigh:

Why students go to Great Britain rather than Northern Ireland and vice versa is a complex question. For Northern Ireland students, I suspect it is a community issue. In other words, the community that a person associates or identifies with is an important part of that. The other piece I think comes down to what Mr. Purser mentioned and I am reluctant to mention, because every time university presidents come in front a committee we do not want to be looking for money.
