Description

In Derry, people are lining up to sign a petition demanding a public enquiry following the decision to place the second Northern Ireland university in Coleraine, and not at Magee College in the city. 

Notes

Sir John Lockwood was invited to form a committee to look into the location of a second university in Northern Ireland. The report took two years and in the end, somewhat controversially, the decision was taken to place the university in Coleraine, rather than in Derry city.
