Student Accommodation: Discussion

2:00 am

Dee Ryan (Fianna Fail)

This is my last question. Because the local authority has a role in approving these planning permissions, which we hope will be a smoother process now with the standardised designs, should there be a role for the local authorities in setting targets for them in respect of student accommodation, much in the same way we set social housing and affordable housing targets? Should we be recognising this as an important cohort in our communities for which minimum targets should be set?
