Student housing crisis sees landlords seeking up to €1,200 per room per month

Caillum Hedderman from Ballybricken, Co Limerick, is hoping to move to Dublin to study political science

Caillum Hedderman is hoping to move from Limerick to Dublin to study political science this month but will only discover tomorrow where he should try to find a home to rent.
