A report shows it can be up to €14,000 annually.
There's a risk of third level institutions in Dublin becoming off limits to students in the midlands due to the cost of living there.
That's according to Laois/Offaly Independent TD Carol Nolan, citing a new Technological University report.
The study shows the price of going to college in Dublin is €14,000 per year.
Deputy Nolan says the government must act immediately before it's too late:
