There's a warning students could face an extra challenge looking for accommodation in Dublin in the autumn.
The Union of Students in Ireland believes the Pope's visit in August could play havoc with those searching for a place to live.
First round CAO offers will be released just before the World Meeting of Families in the city, according to the Sunday Business Post.
The event is expected to see demand for accommodation surge, and college-goers are being encouraged to plan their search earlier than usual.
