Seanad debates

Wednesday, 9 October 2002

As a representative from Donegal, I believe the people in my county are being discriminated against. I am familiar with a great institution called Magee College in Derry. In my view the Government is not providing incentives to subsidise students from Donegal who want to attend third level institutions in the North, be it Jordanstown or Queen's in Belfast or Magee College in Derry. If we are wholeheartedly committed to the idea of North-South co-operation and fostering an atmosphere of unity between people on this island, we must give greater consideration to using our education system to build bridges between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
