Byrne welcomes
capital investment in local college
SDLP West-Tyrone MLA Joe Byrne
has welcomed the announcement of the £750,000 of capital investment to be spent
on improving the Strabane Campus of the North West Regional College.
Mr Byrne said “I welcome the
announcement of the much needed capital investment in the Derry Road campus in
Strabane. This investment will help to improve the facilities for students and
maintain the high quality of education currently being administered by the
college.”
“For a number of years there has
been a lack of higher education opportunities in the Strabane area with many
students having to travel in order to attend their preferred course. The news
of this investment is a good start but further investment is needed to ensure
the growing number of people enrolling in these courses continues.”
SDLP Constituency Representative
Daniel McCrossan also welcomed the news and said “education is key to the
future of Strabane. The Department of Education must provide the opportunity for
the people of Strabane to better themselves through further education. It is
great news to hear that the college in Strabane is receiving investment and
will continue to enrol more students.”
