A food bank that was set up at University College Cork (UCC) has continued to see a high demand, with many students still relying on the service as they struggle with the costs of accommodation and fees.

The food bank was set up by the UCC Students' Union in October of last year, as students juggled the increased costs of living, rent and other expenses amid the accommodation crisis.
