'Monaghan Students are facing an accommodation crisis as government shrug their shoulders'
That's according to Cavan Monaghan TD, Matt Carthy who warned that the government is forcing young people from his constituency out of university education through the failure to tackle the housing crisis.
Deputy Carthy said that the student accommodation crisis was 'all-too-predictable' but once again government have failed to prepare.
He was speaking after Sinn Féin published the results of a survey, undertaking by the party's Higher Education spokesperson Rose Conway Walsh.
Deputy Carthy warned that for students from counties like Monaghan, which has no university, commuting isn't always a viable option. Either they find a place to stay while studying or they cannot attend university.
He added that "once again" the failure of government to prepare for an "obvious occurrence" is causing hardship on our families and students.
