View answerIn May 2019, the Governments of Ireland and the UK signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the Common Travel Area, which affords, inter alia, that “Irish and British citizens have the right to access all levels of education and training, and associated student support, in each other’s state, on terms no less favourable than those for the citizens of that state.”
This includes continuing access to the free fees initiative in higher education as relevant.
