Archibald welcomes universities decision to close due to COVID-19

Sinn Féin MLA Caoimhe Archibald has welcomed the decision of Ulster University and Queen’s University to close all campuses for teaching and social activities to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to keep people safe. 

The party’s Economy Spokesperson said:

“I very much welcome this action by Ulster University and Queen’s University to protect the health and well-being of students, staff and the public and to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

“I welcome that plans are also being made around assessments and exams so that students won’t be disadvantaged, and other types of classes will be delivered online as far as possible.

“I also welcome that staff will be facilitated to work from home.

“I would call on the Department to take action to close further education campuses.

“The Executive needs to show clear and unambiguous leadership for the community and Sinn Féin will continue to work for a sensible and responsible approach in order to protect lives.”

Sinn Féin will bring a Motion to the Dáil on Tuesday to put a stop to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael's indefensible waste of €9 million for phone pouches.

Please contact your TDs and tell them that you won't tolerate this waste of taxpayers money. They must reverse this decision.

The General Election is near and a choice awaits. You can call time on the crises in housing, healthcare & the cost of living.
