<editorial board> University Struggles in Ireland

[enda brophy]

Hi there,

I'll get in touch with him then and see whether he feels comfortable
writing something up in the next couple of weeks.  If he does, and is
okay w/ relating it to the topic of the issue, I'll let you know.  If
not I'm sure he'll be happy to contribute something, or somehow, at
another point.

Take care,

e.
