Student Accommodation: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Bryan O'Mahony:
It feels to us like it was not thought about. There was talk that publicly and privately built student accommodation could be looked after. However, when we looked at the private rental scheme, it appeared that students going into houses would not be protected. It is more or less assured that they will not be protected and that because there is no way to bring it in and track it properly, it is not worth investigating.
