The Minister for Employment and Learning, Stephen Farry (Alliance) intends to remove core funding from St Mary's University College, resulting in a 32% reduction in funding from next April. Such a reduction would significantly damage the ability of the College to continue to provide teachers for the Catholic schools of N Ireland and beyond. The College community is mounting a vigorous defence, rebutting his arguments and rallying support across society.

Please support the College and its students by signing an online petition addressed to the Minister:

"Stephen Farry: Save St Mary's University College."
