I agree with the amendment in principle. I just seek clarification on whether the HEA will have a function in providing special emphasis and efforts in terms of boosting cross-Border collaboration and co-operation on the island, above and beyond the importance of the broader international outreach and collaboration.

I welcome that the North is still given a separate paragraph. I would hope that the inclusion of this amendment with largely the same wording will not take away in any way from the much needed emphasis on developing higher education on an all-island basis.
