Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: It would require a legislative change, to answer Deputy Ó Cathasaigh's question. It is important to clarify that because, in reading the information yesterday, I was struck by that. I thank Ms Hughes-Elders for the clarification.

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: We are back in public session. There are some questions concerning student accommodation. There is a shortage and what is available is very expensive. Added to that is the housing crisis. The shortage of accommodation adjacent to third level institutions is compounding this situation. The cost is escalating. On-campus accommodation in UCD costs more than €11,500 a year and...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: The position on old-fashioned digs is welcome. There is a tax initiative on it worth up to €14,000. It is the same as for renting a room. I am not too sure how it is working out in the areas around the colleges. I hope, based on Dr. O'Reardon's response, that there is a take-up. That would be welcome in terms of using a lot of empty space, especially that owned by those whose...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: On affordability, if they are coming in at €200,000 each, what can be done to make sure the rents on them are affordable? When it comes to spreading the payment period over a certain amount of time, how long will it take to pay for itself, so you would not be trying to do it over 15 or 20 years? If looked at as a longer-term project, it may be recouped over a period of 40 or 50 years.

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: As a follow-on to that, I revert to my point on affordability, which was further developed by Deputy Burke. Where accommodation is built using this funding, who controls it and who sets the rent? Is it the case that the money is handed to a company, which builds the accommodation and then sets the rents, manages the property and so on? How does it work?

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: I know about those restrictions, which are applied under the overall private rented sector guidelines, but I am asking a different question about what would happen if we invested over €500 million in building student accommodation. Given the picture Deputy Burke paints, it seems that what I often describe as the Wild West now obtains. There are private commercial interests. They do...
