Published 1 month ago
Description
Clare's opposition TD claims access to third level education is at risk of becoming a 'two tiered system' due to the accommodation crisis. It comes in the wake of Students at the University of Galway staging a sleep out in protest against the lack of legislation around digs accommodation. Meanwhile, the latest figures show the average yearly rent for students in Limerick and Galway was above €16,000. Shannon Sinn Féin TD, Donna McGettigan, says additional hidden costs are pushing more people away from third level education.
