UCC students protesting against rent hikes believe they'll be camped for another week

Students camping out day and night in protest at proposed incoming rent hikes at accommodation owned by their university believe they will remain in their tents on-campus for at least another week.

As the student protest calling for a three-year rent freeze at University College Cork (UCC) enters its fourth day tomorrow, today saw students at both University College Dublin (UCD) and NUI Galway also pitching tents on campus amidst growing frustration over incoming rent increases.
