Magee taskforce chair given ‘reassurances’ over student expansion

Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle’s North West Today programme ,Mr Kelly said he received a phone call from Murphy, before he announced that he was to stand in the Seanad election.

“Conor Murphy rang me and said, ‘The party have asked me to stand for the Seanad and I just wanted to let you know before that news comes out’.

“Obviously, we have been working very closely together on the plans to extend Magee to 10,00 students so he wanted to make sure that I was reassured that, regardless if he is successful and moves on or not, that the commitment remains and his party will continue with that priority.

“It is unsettling, I will be honest,” he said.

“I have told that to himself [Murphy] and to his colleagues but I have been greatly reassured that the commitments remain and if he is elected and if there is a need for a new minister, that minister will carry that work forward.

“Conor [Murphy] did give me a personal reassurance and has offered to reassure other members of the taskforce if required that this will continue to be the party policy.”
