Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-09-21
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

That was a thoughtful reply and I welcome the point about the allocation of public money, which is an important step forward. Where I live, in Limerick, is probably no different from any other major urban centre. I have been inundated, as I am sure all public representatives have, with communication from desperate families and parents trying to find accommodation for students. Some of the prices being quoted are truly shocking.
While we will agree to disagree on the amendment, I welcome the Minister's comments regarding the renewed focus on this issue, which I am sure all of us will keep a close eye on.
