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. Labhraíonn sé leis an iriseoir Máirín Ní Ghadhra agus Garbhán Downey ón Derry University Group le fáil amach cén fáth go ndearnadh an cinneadh sin. Fosta, cluineann sé ó Mháire Bean Uí Chatháin agus Malcom Scott, beirt a bhí ag déanamh staidéir ar an Ghaeilge i gCúil Raithin ag an am. Seo an chéad 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 journalist Máirín Ní Ghadhra and Garbhán Downey from the Derry University Group to find out why that decision was made. He also hears from Máire Bean Uí Chatháin and Malcom Scott, who both studied Irish in Coleraine at the time. This is the first episode of a two part series.
