The Higher Education Minister has claimed that the Government will go beyond the target of helping construct 4,500 student beds over the next few years.
The State is to subsidise thousands of student accommodation beds in a bid to plug the shortage of student housing across the country.
Simon Harris initially set a target of helping to fund the construction of 4,500 student beds through a new government strategy, however only 700 places have been approved in Maynooth, Limerick and Galway.
