Vol. 556 No. 3

Written Answers. - Third Level Charges.

Olwyn Enright

Ceist:

342 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science the areas in which the increase in college registration fees of 69% in 2002 was actually spent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19849/02]

The charge referred to by the Deputy is levied by third level institutions to defray the costs of examinations, registration and student services. The increase in the charge brings the amount contributed by students more into line with the cost of providing these services. My Department does not have individual institutional details on how this funding is allocated.
