247. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he has considered the possibility of encouraging open days for prospective A-level students from Northern Ireland at Southern Irish universities; if he has considered promoting career libraries in secondary schools here to inform leaving certificate students of courses on offer in Northern universities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Universities and institutes of technology are autonomous statutory bodies and the recruitment of students, including the provision of open days, are matters for the individual institutions concerned. I am satisfied that existing career guidance resources available to second level students are sufficient to inform them of higher education options available to them on the island of Ireland.
