PQ 141
141. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Youth the reason fees are being reintroduced for the 2026 State examinations, particularly given the ongoing cost-of-living crisis affecting many families; the reason parents and students are only being notified during the school year; the reason the payment window is so short, placing additional pressure on households already managing significant expenses; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
