The position is that under my Department free tuition fees schemes the exchequer meets the cost of tuition fees in respect of eligible students. Third level institutions are autonomous bodies and, as such, may determine the level of fees to be charged in any case where the free fees schemes do not apply. The issue of a refund of tuition fees is also a matter for each institution and I have no role in this matter.
