I announced in the Budget that charges will be increased from the summer of this year as follows:

Eligible post primary pupils €300 per pupil.

Concessionary post primary pupils €300 per pupil.

Concessionary primary pupils €200 per pupil.

The maximum charge per family will be €650 per year.

Eligible post primary pupils from families with medical cards will continue to be exempt from these charges. This remains the position.
