This student's sign epitomises the struggle of finding a flat in Dublin

He was spotted holding a sign asking for leads on accommodation.

THE STRUGGLE ENDURED by third level students hunting for accommodation in Dublin this year has been well documented.

And as the college term kicks back into swing, it seems that there are many still without a roof over their head.

Case in point? This guy.

He was spotted on Aungier Street in Dublin clutching a cardboard sign that reads:

Hi, my name is Alex, I’m student needing a room in Dublin 1/2/3/8/6/6w for a year. Please stop me if you have any information. :)

room

The poor divil.

Won’t somebody take him in?
