Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Deputy Niall Collins)

As part of the Government's St Patrick's Day programme of visits I visited Cleveland, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 13th to 17th March.

A visit to the University of Pittsburgh did not form part of my official programme.

However, one of my accompanying officials met with representatives of the University of Pittsburgh at a community reception, and further engagement is planned in the next few weeks.
