Amharc ar fhreagraOn the 24th of January, at the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, I informed the Deputy that I had a meeting with the Union of Students in Ireland on the 18th of January, the day before I announced the long-term student accommodation policy.
As I stated, on the record, the USI described the policy as extremely welcome at this meeting. USI and I along with my officials will continue to engage on this policy development and matters of importance to our students as discussed at our meeting.
