Trinity College Dublin has appealed to Dubliners to rent out their spare rooms to students without accommodation.
The college is requesting people to accommodate students amid a major housing crisis in the capital. In a leaflet circulated to various households, Trinity said it is looking for rooms in "owner-occupied homes (also known as digs)".
The circular reads: "Dublin is experiencing an acute property shortage and thousands of students are struggling to secure accommodation for the coming academic year. We are looking for rooms in owner-occupied homes (also known as digs) for single terms or the academic year. These rooms will be advertised on our accommodation portal exclusively to Trinity students."
