Cllr Jim Codd calls for more student accommodation in the Southeast

Cllr Jim Codd has called for the local authorities to plan for more student accommodation to support the development of the Southeast Technological University. (SETU)

"I would stress that we need to plan for accommodation for students now. It can’t become nearly impossible like in other towns and cities.” Cllr Codd said

After a 10-year process, SETU was formed from the amalgamation of the Waterford IT and IT Carlow. The campus will host around 2,000 staff and over 18,000 learners per annum across the Southeast.

Cllr Codd concluded that the university is a massive opportunity for county Wexford. "This is truly momentous; I’ve been involved in education for over 30 years, and I’ve seen droves of teens leave and struggle to pay astronomical rents in Dublin and other cities.”

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
