Sound out.

Eoghan McDermott is offering his and girlfriend Aoife’s spare room to a student who might be struggling to find accommodation in Dublin.

The 2fm presenter took to Instagram to say that a student was welcome to the spare room for free for one week while they are looking for a place to stay full-time.

He said:

“If you’re moving to Dublin from the country first time it can be daunting. Hopefully this will help someone line up lots of viewings and get sorted.”

The presenter shared the post as part of Pieta House’s and A Lust For Life’s #SoundEffect campaign, which aims to highlight the sound things people do for others.

Speaking about #SoundEffect, Eoghan said:

“It’s a great campaign in a world that focuses so much on the negative as a default. Get behind it, post nice moments you encounter. Peace x”

Very sound, indeed.

Eoghan’s offer comes after news that there are now fewer houses to rent in Dublin, and that students are being offered accommodation with horrible living conditions.
