Mr. Paul Lemass:

UCD is one of three universities that are part of the short-term accommodation programme.

It has a proposal in for 493 beds. Mr. McCaffrey might be able to speak a little further on that in a moment. The decision is imminent and there is a very capable buildings unit to deliver it.

Deputy McGettigan also talked about the commute. Without repeating it, I refer her to my earlier answer about our engagement with Local Link to try to ensure that commuting is made as easy as possible. The survey the HEA undertook was to understand the extent to which people were commuting, both in terms of numbers and distance.

As regards the regulation of digs, what we have is a set of guidelines for both the licensee and the property owner, plus a draft licence agreement that could be entered into. We have worked with the universities to try to help them to work with students so that they are not going into places that are unsuitable and they have a clear understanding before they go into a place of what they are getting into and whether it is five-day or seven-day accommodation. Deputy McGettigan suggested that we did not know who was in it at the weekend. That is the nature of an arrangement between the two parties. That is not something-----
