Mr. Ciaran McCaffrey:

From the data we collect, Cork is unique in that there is quite a significant portion of private sector PBSA held there. It is probably one of the reasons why the institution has not delivered. If you look across the four major urban centres, namely, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork, as a percentage of PBSA per student population, it is one of the higher ones. It is up around 27%, whereas the next closest is around 24%. That is probably the reason the institution does not have the same level of PBSA. As Mr. Lemass stated, UCC was in the throes of delivering its Crow's Nest development around the time when the short-term activation programme was initiated. That is one of the reasons it was not in a position to participate in it.
