I wonder will it be a bit of paint on the road like what was done during the recent roadworks from Silversprings inbound?:pac: Interesting that they're referring to it as a 'cycle route' whereas the others are called 'cycle way'. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it but why would they refer to them by two names if they are the same type of infrastructure?

Or if you could drop in something prefabricated (like the Big Man Tiny Homes builds), you could get a site & home for not much over 100K, in a central location. Disclaimer: I am playing devil's advocate here. That site is tiny.

Some of the gaffs around college are barely habitable. I'd be less worried about the location of brewery quarter given where the new business school is and it's not that far of a walk from main campus. I wouldn't have minded the 2 min commute from secret garden back in the day either

A lot of students enjoy the convenience of living right next door to the college up around College Road and surrounding streets. Much of the new student apartments are further away.
chalkitdown1 wrote: » Students shouldn't be occupying houses where people who work in the city should be living full-time instead. A vast amount of the houses in the city centre & surrounding area are occupied by students who then get replaced by more students the next year and so on, pushing everyone else out to the suburbs or commuter towns like Carrigaline or Ballincollig etc, creating more traffic and other such problems. And then there's the astronomical rent they're being charged by the landlords who get away with it because the students have no other choice. These new student apartments are all badly needed.
