Student Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-27
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I do not believe these are in that space. We need to look at every way of coming at this. I know the Deputy agrees on this. We want to build purpose-built student accommodation, whether in DCU or Maynooth, but we know that it takes time to get from an idea through design, planning and construction. There could be opportunities in the meantime to look at vacant stock. I want to cast the net wide and invite our universities to bring forward their proposals by 15 March.
