Clare's Two Closest University Towns Among Most Expensive For Students In Ireland

Clare's closest University towns have ranked as some of the most expensive in the country for students. A new report from switcher.ie found rent in Limerick and Galway were the fifth and sixth highest in the country respectively. Both cities saw a 5% increase in the annual costs of everyday expenses, with students living in Limerick paying €16,520 a year, while those in Galway faced annual costs of €16,064. TUS Midwest Student President, Emma Hogan, says Clare students are opting out of going college due to being unable to afford it.
