Student Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-01
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

It is a stark and unacceptable fact that even if a student is in receipt of the maximum SUSI grant of €6,115, he or she will not be able to afford student accommodation at UCD, where even the cheapest and supposedly most affordable rates range from €6,900 a year up to €10,745. What will the Minister do to ensure there is affordable accommodation at publicly funded colleges and universities, and more generally, for the student population?
