Mr. Gareth Hetherington:

To emphasise the cultural point, at Ulster University's Coleraine campus, we have done a great deal of work in respect of developing courses and curriculums in order to make sure that students are able to pursue qualifications that make them employment ready. Much work has been done in that space. We asked our international students what it is that attracted them here, hoping to hear back about all the work that we had done. The answer we got was "Game of Thrones". We can laugh at that, but it goes to show the importance of the cultural aspect.

I will make one point on FDI. I know we are pressed for time. We talked a lot about human capital and skills development. However, there are other soft infrastructure developments on which we can collaborate now around not just creating but enhancing, where they do exist, postgraduate research hubs around the industry clusters we already have in the Belfast-Dublin economic corridor area. That is a tangible thing we could do now that would be of benefit to continued FDI in the future.

I will briefly mention one other thing in terms of hard infrastructure. We talked a lot about that. I agree that we need to work on the Dublin-Belfast-Derry rail link, road development, etc. Over the next ten to 20 years, we also have to be very conscious of the impact that hard infrastructure development is going to have on the environment and the consistency with meeting net zero targets by 2050. It is another obstacle really that we all need to solve on this island and elsewhere.
