Donna McGettigan (Clare, Sinn Fein)

I looked through the budget documentation but found no mention of student accommodation, which was quite shocking to me. I still have not received information on why the shortfall in student accommodation has happened. The strategy missed it targets but there has been no explanation for this. It is no secret that there is a crisis for students and families who are currently in distress trying to find accommodation. I ask the Minister to outline the current targets and whether new funding will be allocated for this.
