Dr. Colm O'Reardon:

I will ask Dr. Lillis to comment. There are several issues. One is about trying to make it easier for students from Northern Ireland to study here. Work needs to be done on this. There is also work being done on encouraging research collaboration between the universities to build relationships. We are also involved in an initiative to invest in the Derry campus of the University of Ulster. I will ask Dr. Lillis to comment on student mobility.
