A new Technological University has been announced for the north-west.
It'll be the 4th of its kind across the country and follows an application from Galway-Mayo, Sligo and Letterkenny ITs.
The Higher Education Minister says it will increase access to college, lead to enhanced regional development and boost local opportunities.
