Ireland has a housing crisis for many reasons. One of the main causes is population growth, urbanisation, and increased migration to Ireland, which raises housing demand. Due to increased demand, new housing units are scarce. In addition, the Brexit scheme has caused many skilled construction workers to emigrate.
The Irish government has increased housing supply targets, rent controls, and affordable housing initiatives to address the crisis. Due to this surge in accommodation demand, many universities have increased their on-campus lodging. They are working with the government to make it easier for students to stay in the country.
