View answerMy officials are currently working with their counterparts in the Department for the Economy in NI, along with the President and Vice-Chancellor of Letterkenny Institute of Technology and University of Ulster respectively on the development of a proposal to address the commitment under New Decade New Approach.
This detailed engagement which has beeen ongoing for some months, is likely to finalise a proposal in the next few weeks, and I hope that I may be able to make a more detailed announcement early in 2022.
