We asked Cork TD candidates to sign a pledge to prioritise building publicly-funded, affordable purpose-built student accommodation. 28 candidates signed up to the pledge, and 2 partially agreed. See those who agreed below. (1 of 2)

With 60 bedsheets hung around campus and the city, the pressure is on. Students will be voting for better student housing on Friday 29th November 🏡 rte.ie/news/regional/…

This morning, I asked Cork Dáil candidates to sign a pledge to prioritise the building of publicly-funded and affordable purpose-built student accommodation. Next Thursday, @UCCSU will publish a statement telling the student body who has committed - and who has not.

Proud day on campus to see Quercus alum and @UCCSU President, Katie Halpin-Hill being conferred with a BA in Gaeilge and History. 🎓🎓🎓

When a settled woman gets murdered, people are on the streets - when a Traveller woman gets murdered a very loud silence. #RIPMaryWard

Once-off measures only go so far in addressing with deep-rooted student issues, e.g. student accommodation and fees. While we welcome some positive developments in the areas of student supports, phD stipends, and core sectoral funding, #Budget2025 has missed the mark for students

#Budget2025 - a missed opportunity for students. We welcome the announcement of increased student supports. However #Budget2025, has failed to address the student accommodation crisis. Funding for 1,200 beds is a drop in the ocean of a 30,000 national student bed deficit. 🏡

Great media coverage emerging from the launch of our Cost of Living Report which is available to read in full at link in bio. 📣 echolive.ie/corknews/arid-… Thanks @echolivecork for their piece with @UCCSUPresident, meaningful change must be delivered from tomorrows budget. ⭐️
