Text
The commitment to 10,000 students at Magee is now part of the draft Programme for Government, which means that it is a whole-Executive commitment. As I said, it is my intention to raise the report and the asks within it with Executive colleagues and to ask that they engage. A lot of departmental officials are already engaging, and the work has been productive so far. If issues arise that present obstacles or barriers, we will want to address those as quickly as possible, and, if need be, I will look to Executive colleagues to support us in that.
