flag A student housing shortage in Ireland, fueled by rising costs and delayed government plans, threatens access to and completion of higher education.

flag A shortage of student housing is the top barrier to accessing and completing higher education in Ireland, according to Amlé, the national student union. flag Rising costs at on-campus accommodations in Dublin, driven by service charges rather than rent, have led to nearly a 7% increase in fees despite rent caps in rent pressure zones. flag Students face unsustainable costs and insecure living conditions due to a critical lack of publicly-funded, purpose-built housing. flag The delayed Student Accommodation Strategy will not be released until later this year, while thousands of planned student beds remain unbuilt due to construction cost increases and insufficient government funding.
