I thank the witnesses for attending. We are discussing increasing cross-Border enrolment which has a significant benefit for children and students as it gives them additional options. I think we would all agree that it also has a societal benefit.

What level of awareness do students in schools in Northern Ireland have of the opportunity to study at third level in the Republic? Is it limited to certain schools because of tradition?
