Student accommodation shortage

Summary

Senator James Reilly highlights the cost and scarcity of student accommodation, warning that it is preventing access to third-level education.

I am sure physical therapists also have something to offer, but it is a different qualification.

Senator Joe O'Reilly spoke about student accommodation. This is a serious problem for students and adds quite a burden on them in terms of the expense involved. While we laud the fact that third level education is so much more accessible now, accommodation can be a blockage to people going to third level education, which should not be the case.

A few days ago I spoke about the role of the Seanad on the committee on health planning for the next ten years. I know that the Leader met the Chairman of the committee but was not satisfied.
