My view of it is very simple. Obviously what we have seen in Ireland, and the RTB cannot dispute this, it is commonsense, and it is a fact that wherever one goes in Dublin one sees it going on, there is construction now of major student accommodation complexes. That is something that was not a part of higher education in Ireland 20 years ago although there was limited residential facilities that were predominantly university owned or run.
