Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Cross-Border Student Access to Higher Education: Discussion

12:10 pm

Mr. Denis Cummins:

We have very good working relationships with the University of Ulster and Queens University, particular in the area of enterprise support programmes and INTERREG programmes. On the issue of student mobility there is less interest in that from our counterparts in Norther Ireland. Obviously there is an element of competition for students which comes into it as well, so that one can understand that. We have good collaboration with them at other levels.
