Students in Dublin are being forced to “beg people as a last resort” in their search for accommodation, according to TCDSU.
Students’ unions are urging Dublin ers to open their homes to college students as part of their now-annual student accommodation drive this morning.
Trinity College Dublin Students Union President Jenny Maguire explained the origins of the digs drive. “We hear so many horror stories—students living in cars or sleeping in libraries. These situations are becoming more and more common year after year.”“Our student unions work with landlords to create fair deals for both parties,” she said.
This is an immediate solution for an issue created by years of underfunding our third-level sector - we need purpose built student accommodation nowShe also claimed that politics plays a role in the student accommodation crisis.
