The Governing Body, Leadership Team and Staff at South West College are deeply saddened by the tragic news in Fermanagh this week. We extend our condolences to the family members, colleagues and friends of the deceased. We hope they will take some comfort by the outpouring of support from across the region and much further afield, and that they are extended the space and privacy to grieve for their loss over the coming days, weeks and months.

Our thoughts are also with the local members of the emergency services who continue to do their job in service of the community with unwavering dignity, compassion and professionalism regardless of the circumstances.

Support services are available for anyone connected with the College by contacting us through general reception at the Erne Campus on 028 8225 0109.
