Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

One thing that is very important to Killybegs is facilitating and enabling students to return to third-level education. I know a few people who have gone back into education. People who would not have completed secondary school have gone into further education 20 or 30 years later, which is very significant. It is also very important for Donegal because over the years, it lacked people with third-level qualifications. The ability of people to go back into further education and restart their education is very significant. The college and that particular campus have a significant role to play in that and I would like to see that continue and develop over the next couple of years.
