Mr. Alex Angland:

The initiative could potentially work in some colleges. For universities in larger cities where the summer rental market is so important in terms of being able to reduce the cost for students during the academic year, one needs single rooms with en suite bathrooms. As I said, the summer rental market subsidises the cost for students during the year. For some colleges, like UCC, UCD and the University of Galway, that initiative would not be the ideal system.
