Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 February 2010
337 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Meath cannot be awarded a waiver to exempt them from fees for the leaving certificate exams; if he will reverse this decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5840/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraFees are waived in the certificate examinations for candidates who are dependants of persons who hold a full medical card. The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations. This include the charging and collection of fees for examinations. In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
