Technological Universities are before the Oireachtas Higher Education Committee this morning to highlight the need for student accommodation.
It's hearing from representatives from TUS Midlands and Midwest, ATU in the North West, TU Dublin, SETU in the South East, and Munster Technological University.
Many of the technological universities have no on-campus accommodation and are primarily relying on the private sector.

Technological Universities are calling on the Government to provide more purpose-built student accommodation.
