Hi
@JoannaLumleyUK
, you visited Richard Moore’s childhood home in Derry today. Newsworthy fact - my cousin Joe McKane and his son Odhran, who now live there, dived into the River Foyle on the same day, 2 years apart, to rescue drowning people on August 1st.

When we first moved to Clare, Limerick City was neglected but the city benefited from the vision of Dr Ed Walsh, who steered UL on a path as a modern European university. As a Derryman who once attended Magee, it pains me to see that our city’s potential continues to be stymied.

The differentials are truly astonishing yet unsurprising. The northwest, on both sides of the border, has not benefited from the peace accord or the ‘Belfast Agreement’ as it is more aptly known. Seems that the Stormont of 2021 hasn’t changed much in 60 years or more.

Two observations:

2.Limerick (similar population to Derry) has 5 institutions offering tertiary education; is it time to move past an obsession with UU’s mismanagement of Magee to a fully independent cross-border university?

UL is strategically sited in 2 counties, straddling the border of Limerick & Clare. A new independent uni in the NW could be built on a greenfield site on the Derry-Donegal border to maximise resource opportunities.
If Derry/Strabane Council is serious about the long-term economic development of the region, it will insist on using this money to establish its own independent university for the North West.
