Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (7 Jul 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The next time the Minister will be before this House will likely be in October. At that stage, many students will be in the midst of what has become an annual student accommodation crisis. Will the Minister outline the total number of student accommodation projects with planning permission, particularly the college-led projects, and the steps he is taking to support these projects...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (7 Jul 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: As the Minister outlined, many universities have student accommodation projects at various stages of planning and development. Many of these are shovel-ready.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Third Level Costs (7 Jul 2022)
