Students are set to take to the streets on Wednesday to demand the Government use its rainy day fund to tackle the accommodation crisis and the "soaring" cost of college.

The Union of Students Ireland (USI) and student unions have called on students to march to the Dáil in a bid to highlight what they describe as “unprecedented costs” associated with their education.
