I acknowledge the new president of UCD has been really proactive in this space and I thank her for that. We need to get to common design around student accommodation.

I have spoken to students and student unions about this. They often tell me they are being asked to pay for facilities that have things in them they did not ask for. We are trying to get to a point of common design and are working closely with the Minister for housing on that. We should be in a position to say what student accommodation the State funds or part funds looks like. I think we can get there quite quickly.
