Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Cross-Border Co-operation in Education: Discussion
12:40 pm
Mr. Eugene Toolan:
It may be important to point out that up to now the work that we have done together has been at individual level to a certain extent and individual personnel have worked on individual research projects and so on. The memorandum of understanding firms up on that work. It is a new initiative in one sense, so it is a new beginning. We have got great advice so far from members of the committee. Whatever support we an get in relation to how we can move is important. We have got an imprimatur from the committee today and that is very important for us as we progress with this new initiative which is a more formal arrangement between the two institutions.
