Dr. Joseph Ryan:

It is there in the Act, as I said. It needs to be triggered. There is an openness to this and, in fairness to the Department, we have set up a working group that is looking at this under the Secretary General. The difficulty now is that the economics of it do not make sense. It would need some assistance from the Government to make sense. In other words, the cost to the student cohort if this accommodation were built and then rented out would be too high. The impact is on opportunity and equity, and we saw that through Covid. Mr. Miley and I were involved in talks on this, including on international students and where we could put them. We talked at one stage about Citywest. It just pointed to the fact that we do not have the infrastructure at times. There is an element of resilience and learning to this, it seems to me.
