Back to EpisodesIreland's New Student Housing Strategy
Description
The Irish government unveils a plan to construct 42,000 additional student beds by 2035, addressing a current deficit of 15,000. The strategy involves public-private partnerships, with private developers building on college and university land through long-term leases. Higher education institutions will nominate beds for their students, aiming for 75-90% occupancy. The plan includes €176 million for student grants, €250 million in capital funding, and rental reforms to enhance affordability. The initiative begins in Dublin, Cork, and Galway, expanding to other cities to accommodate students reliably.
