Financial Supports for Tertiary Level Students: Discussion

12:05 pm

Mr. Chris Clifford:

Absolutely. It is not only UCD. For example, Maynooth has new accommodation that is significantly more expensive than the rest of the accommodation around the local area. They are building one or two more complexes, and it is setting the tone for the rest of them to set that price. Speaking as a student of Tralee all those years ago, it has increased more than 100% in the past five to six years. When we see that, it is real financial struggle for our students.
