Student Accommodation
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-23
============================================================

Róisín Garvey (CC), Nominated by the Taoiseach

This is a very important matter. My son could not find a place to live for college this year so is commuting from Clare and burning lots of fossil fuels because the public transport is not yet there. It is a huge issue. We are all aware of the fact that we need to build more houses, and the empty sites issue is massive.
