“This investment by the Irish government shows the potential of what can be done to deliver on the huge economic opportunities when governments and parties work together.'
Irish government funding to expand the Magee campus of Ulster University in Derry should "address long-standing regional disparities and inequalities" in the North West, local businesses believe.
"This is a significant capital investment which will support Ulster University in its ambitions to grow student numbers in our city." Sinn Fein Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill, meanwhile, said: “Confirmation that the Irish Government will provide capital investment of €45 million to help build a new student and teaching building at Ulster University’s Magee campus is welcome news.
"Expanding the facilities at Magee will also help to strengthen cross-border education by making the Magee campus more accessible to students from Donegal, and working to deepen educational links with LYIT in Letterkenny."
