The Senate of the National University of Ireland decided in July 1980 to increase the matriculation examination fee from £22 in 1980 to £40 in 1981 and from £22 to £30 for matriculation registration otherwise. I am advised by the Higher Education Authority that these increases are to meet increased costs and the Authority is satisfied that they are warranted.
