Téann Fearghal Mag Uiginn ar thuras staire, trí scór bliain ó rinneadh an cinneadh an dara hollscoil a lonnú i gCúil Raithin, seachas i nDoire. Sa chlár seo, labhraíonn sé Garbhán Downey ón Derry University Group agus le Malachy O’Neill ó Ollscoil Uladh le fáil amach cad a tharla nuair a bunaíodh Campas Mhic Aoidh i nDoire. Fosta, cluineann sé ón Dochtúir Eleanor Gaffney, a bhí sa chéad ghrúpa dochtúirí le céim a bhaint amach ón scoil leighis úr in Ollscoil Uladh i nDoire i mbliana. Seo an dara chlár de dhá cheann. Fearghal Mag Uiginn goes on a historical journey, sixty years since the decision was made to locate the north’s second university in Coleraine instead of Derry. He speaks to Garbhán Downey from the Derry University Group and Malachy O’Neill from Ulster University to find out what happened since the Magee Campus was set up in Derry. He also hears from Dr Eleanor Gaffney, who was in the first group of doctors to graduate from the new medical school in Derry’s Ulster University this year. This is the second episode of a two part series.
