Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT) (Irish: Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Leitir Ceanainn), formerly Regional Technical College, Letterkenny, is located in Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland. It is a third level institution serving County Donegal and the North West of Ireland. The institute is usually known locally as the Regional. Today, it is one of the largest places of third level education anywhere in Ulster. It is the only Republic of Ireland Institute of Technology (I.T.) to be located in Ulster. The institute is one of the original network of Regional Technical Colleges established in Ireland. Tourism College Killybegs is a school of the institute in accordance with the Institutes of Technology Act 2006. The institute was also referred to as Donogh O'Malley Regional Technical College, Letterkenny, until 1992, in honour of Donogh O'Malley, the reforming Minister for Education in the Republic of Ireland. In 2007 LYIT came joint second with Tallaght IT to the Galway-Mayo IT in The Sunday Times University Guide 2007, which ranks the top universities and IT's. This shows the part Letterkenny has played in the development of the North-West.
