A new student accommodation strategy is being developed by Higher Education Minister and Kildare North TD James Lawless, with plans to deliver 42,000 beds in the next 10 years.
The Government is facing criticism for plans to ask colleges to adapt lectures so commuting students won't need to travel as often.
A new student accommodation strategy is being developed by Higher Education Minister and Kildare North TD James Lawless, with plans to deliver 42,000 beds in the next 10 years.
The number of students commuting and length of time they spend travelling each day is also set to be examined.
The plan is also expected to include requests for colleges to condense timetabled lectures into fewer days.
Labour Party senator, Laura Harmon, who's a former President of the Union of Students in Ireland, says access to campus facilities is vital to the third level experience.
