Ms Claire Hanna:

I can indeed and I thank the Chair. I also thank the witnesses as this has been a very interesting conversation. I wish to put on record my gratitude to them on all sorts of issues, including workforce but also other societal issues and the way they navigate through the politics by keeping it very inclusive and broad-based. They briefly touched in the question there from Deputy Feighan on the specific issue of North-South student mobility. I know there was an intervention from the Minister, Deputy Harris, in the past week on this but it does appear and it feels anecdotally that there has been a slowdown of students from the North being able to travel and study in southern universities at the same time that there is a renewed interest in it. It is going to be crucial for that all-island integration, learning and understanding more about each other and about the workforce of the near future. Are there specific interventions the witnesses believe need to happen to make that smoother for students going North-South and do they think it is working well for students going South-North? I will probably direct that question to Mr. McCamphill as I know he has a wealth of experience in education, in particular.
