Student poverty 'a massively underestimated issue' as 20 avail of UCC food bank

Welfare Officer at UCC, Naoise Crowley, says financial hardship among students is being vastly underestimated.

Up to 20 students every week are availing of a Food Bank that's been set up at University College Cork.

The parcels are a direct response to those experiencing poverty but who the student union couldn't immediately offer financial help to.
