The student, whose case was raised in the Dáil on Wednesday by Sinn Féin spokeswoman on higher education Mairéad Farrell, told The Irish Times that at the start of the current academic year, he was offered a 51-week lease at a student village in Rhebogue, despite his academic year lasting 41 weeks.
Ms Farrell told the Dáil that the move to 51-week leases by some private student accommodation operators had proved to be “the thin end of the wedge” with colleges now appearing to adopt the practice.
