I thank the Member for that question. I am not aware of any impact on a particular campus. I, too, am concerned about the Coleraine campus, given that I live in that area and it is in my constituency. The university has been clear about its commitment to its multi-campus arrangements. The Member will also be aware, as a member of the Economy Committee, of the work that we are doing to understand the financial impact of the multi-campus model and to look at how the Department can reflect that and support the university as part of the budgetary process. Obviously, we are still in the process of trying to get a better Budget settlement for the Executive as a whole. When it comes to my departmental budget and where I would like additional resource to go, my top priorities are our universities and colleges and Invest NI. I continue to make that case to my Executive colleagues, and, as an Executive, we continue to argue for a better Budget settlement from the British Government.
