1071 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science the revenue generated in 2009 to the State Examination Commission from examination fees; the estimated income in 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1318/10]

|
|
Examination Entry Fees |
9,125,739.00 |
|
Appeal Fees |
514,027.00 |
|
Fees for Certified Statement of Results |
71,909.00 |
|
Total Receipts |
9,711,675.00 |
Given that the fee rates for the 2010 Examinations are the same as in 2009 and that candidate numbers are expected to be broadly similar, it is expected that revenues next year will be in line with 2009. The fee income in 2009 represented 14.6% of the overall cost of the examinations.
