The Minister was responding to an Assembly Question from SDLP MLA Pat Ramsey who asked - in light of the recent investment in NWRC - if he could offer an assurance that the college would provide performing arts courses.

Dr Farry replied: “The North West College have confirmed that within the new £18m project there is modern accommodation for performing arts.

“The North West Regional College also advises that they are currently advertising in their course prospectus for September 2011 the following courses in Performing Arts; Level 2 in Performing Arts, Level 3 Diploma/extended Diploma in Performing Arts (Performance and Production) and Higher National Diploma in Performing Arts.

“It is intended that these courses will use the new facilities in the ‘Foyle Building.’”
