Question 1072: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if tax exiles are entitled to have their children educated free in Irish primary and post-primary schools or if they are expected to pay for their education; the number of children of tax exiles who are receiving free education in non-fee paying schools here; and if there are plans to review this.

My Department does not distinguish between children of tax exiles and others in terms of entitlement to primary or post primary education. Statistics in relation to the numbers of pupils enrolled in our primary and post primary schools are published annually by my Department. However, the statistical data collected and published does not provide the information requested by the Deputy.
