Sinn Fein's housing spokesman Eoin O Broin wants to meet with staff at Irish universities over proposed student accommodation rent hikes.
"Students have a right to affordable accommodation and good quality education, and rent hikes are not the way to achieve that." UCD Students Union has called for an immediate reversal of the decision from the university management team. "Students are already being locked out of education by the housing crisis. We are seeing fewer and fewer students from outside of Dublin choosing to study in UCD, and little or no increase in students from lower socio-economic backgrounds coming to our University."We are pleading with those seeking election to prevent our public education institutions from taking advantage of students in this manner; it is unacceptable.
