Fears student accommodation will soon hit 'breaking point' 

ICOS is regularly contacted by students with concerns about substandard accommodation and overcrowding.

The substandard rental conditions which international students are forced to endure in Ireland could deteriorate even further in September when third-level colleges return, the Irish Council for International Students has warned.

"We are increasingly concerned that it is worsening and there is a lack of availability," said ICOS executive director Laura Harmon. 
"We will see a real breaking point in September when we see all of the students back again.”
