The expert panel, consisting of Professor Arthur Aughey (University of Ulster), Professor Adrian Guelke (QUB), Mr Eamonn Mallie (journalist & author), Mr Kevin Magee (BBC Business Correspondent), Ms Fionola Meredith (journalist & author) and Ms Martina Purdy (BBC Political Correspondent) was chaired by the former journalist (now SDLP Westminster candidate) Mr Fearghal McKinney. The students put probing questions to the expert panel on Northern Ireland politics and received insightful, important information in return. Many thanks to all involved.
