The setting of fees for non-EU nationals attending medical schools, and other higher education courses, is a matter for the institutions themselves. I understand that, at present, the annual fees are approximately €28,000 in the public higher education institutions. The Government supports the internationalisation of Irish education services and, in 2004, accepted the Report of the Interdepartmental Working Group on the Internationalisation of Irish Education Services.
