International students sleeping on the streets due to accommodation crisis

Some students who travel to Ireland to learn English have discovered that accommodation is either unavailable or unaffordable. 

A growing number of English-language students are being forced to sleep on the streets, in cars, or on couches in friends’ homes because they cannot find rental accommodation after travelling to Ireland.

Some are opting to return home without completing their courses or transferring to other countries because they couldn’t find, or afford, a place to live.
