The total receipts from the 3 income strands in 2009 were

Examination Entry Fees €9,125,739.00

Appeal Fees € 514,027.00

Fees for Certified Statement of Results € 71,909.00

Total Receipts: €9,711,675.00

Given that the fee rates for the 2010 Examinations are the same as in 2009 and that candidate numbers are expected to be broadly similar, it is expected that revenues next year will be in line with 2009. The fee income in 2009 represented 14.6% of the overall cost of the examinations.
