Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. In fairness, he has raised it with me on a number of occasions. It is something we have yet to find a resolution for, but I will accept his challenge to engage with broader Government colleagues on this to see whether there is a way. The Government has done more on all-island education than perhaps ever before, including the expansion of the Magee campus in Derry, ensuring Northern Ireland students can continue to benefit from Erasmus+ and ring-fencing places in nursing, medicine and therapies in Northern Ireland for students from down South. This is one on which we have hit a bit of a roadblock but I will engage directly with the Deputy and see if we can overcome it.
