Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I know a lot of work goes into these things.

Rose Conway-Walsh: We talked about education and the labour force. How important is student mobility across the island? In particular, how important is it that we stop the brain drain and how important is encouraging students to make this island the destination?

Rose Conway-Walsh: I see that. Then there is lifelong learning and its impact. Both jurisdictions are quite bad at lifelong learning and it needs to be targeted.
