443. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if an issue (details supplied) will be examined in relation to a request for fees from students for trips that did not occur; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32923/21]
View answerOfficials in my Department have engaged with Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) regarding this matter.
CETB has informed to my officials that refunds related to elements of the courses referred to in the question are currently being dealt with under the CETB refund policy, and that learners will be refunded for any fees that were paid for untaken trips. Learners who have paid in full are due a refund for the fees for untaken trips. Learners who have fees outstanding will have this fee element waivied from their balance.
