Third Level Education
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-07
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Following on neatly from the previous discussion, student poverty last year was rampant, with accommodation costs being a key element. Public transport costs and all the cost-of-living issues are now going to hit students. What is the Minister going to do about this? Will he consider bringing in free public transport for everybody in higher education? What are we going to do to bring down the cost of accommodation?
There should be subsidies for student accommodation.
