Target: Magee campus has still not hit 10,000 students Some unionists felt they should have gone to Coleraine - reopening the university which dates back to the 1960s. In 1965, the Lockwood report recommended Northern Ireland's second university be located in Coleraine rather than Derry. In a speech in Parliament, SDLP MP Gerry Fitt remarked: "The only consideration which activated the minds of the unionist powers ... was that two-thirds of the population of Londonderry were Catholics. They sited the university in the heart of Coleraine ... [a] unionist-dominated area." As the years passed, the feeling of neglect has grown. So is it fair?
