Nearly 350 Irish Third-Level Students Reported Homelessness

New figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that at least 346 third-level students in Ireland reported being homeless during the last academic year.  Student representatives say that number is likely just the “tip of the iceberg”, with many cases of hidden homelessness going unrecorded and several of the country’s largest universities unable to provide data.    As Ireland’s housing crisis continues to affect access to education, concerns are growing about students forced to couch-surf, sleep in cars, endure long commutes, or live in insecure accommodation while trying to complete their studies.   Alan Morrissey has been speaking about this with Molly Hickey, Vice President of Welfare and Equality at the Students Union at the University of Galway.
