In an effort to find accommodation in Dublin for students travelling from as far as way Donegal, UCD have asked Dubliners to rent them a room.

The Student’s Union in UCD says students are traveling from all parts of the Country and that some are commuting as far away as the North West to attend college in Dublin.

The Students Union is targeting commuters at Luas stops this morning as part of a ''Digs Drive''.

Education Officer Matt Mion says students are coming to him desperate for accommodation.
