Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 183 and 241 together.

The State Examinations Commission will be issuing a refund to all students who had already paid examination fees in respect of the 2020 Junior Cycle, Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied examinations. The refunds will be issued in the coming weeks.
