Mr. Alex Angland:

For example, UCC has enough accommodation for less than 6% of its students. There are only 1,500 beds for 26,000 students. In our case, we need to double that at least. It is in UCC's strategic plan to deliver another 500 beds in the next few years but even that alone is not enough. We are falling so far behind. UCD has 4,000 and UL has 3,000. Other colleges have 2,400 and it is falling really far behind in Cork as well considering MTU has no purpose-built accommodation of its own.
