Tussu listings snapshot (Students' Union portal, https://tussu.ie/accommodation/, observed 1 October 2026; aggregate only)

• Listing counts on the portal landing page (all campuses, 465 in total): Athlone 204, Moylish 85, Thurles 47, Clonmel 36, Ennis 13, Clare Street 9. The portal's campus-filter results pages state lower counts (Athlone 81, Moylish 16, Thurles 14, Clonmel 11, Ennis 3, Clare Street 3), so the numbers are not consistent and listings can be tagged to more than one campus.
• Arrangement types the portal offers: 1 bed apartment; digs 5 days; digs/bed and breakfast 7 days; room in owner-occupied house 5 days or 7 days; shared private student house; short-term apartments; short-term lets; other.
• Clonmel filter (11 cards): rooms in owner-occupied houses (5-day and 7-day) and 5-day digs. Weekly rent observed EUR 125 to EUR 150; monthly EUR 500 to EUR 650; deposits EUR 125 to EUR 500.
• Listing policy (stated on the portal): TUS Students' Union accepts no responsibility for false, misleading or inaccurate information in listings and may remove a listing pending investigation if fraud or misleading information is reported to it.
• SU contacts shown on the portal: Midlands (090) 646 8067; Midwest (061) 293135. Opening hours shown: Monday to Thursday 9am-5pm (closed 1-2pm), Friday 9am-3pm (closed 12-1pm).
• Scam caution: listings are landlord-submitted and not vetted by TUS. Treat an unusual address, a request to pay before viewing, or a price far below the range above as a warning sign; never pay a deposit without seeing the property.
