Text
As the Member will recognise, a project of the scale of the expansion of the Magee campus requires everybody to work together towards the same objective. That cannot be done if anyone is excluded. The task force includes people from the local business community, the community and voluntary sector, Invest NI, the council, the trade union movement, the Irish Government, my Department and the university. Everyone is committed to the project and is working collaboratively to deliver the places for 10,000 students as quickly as possible.
