Section 22 of the Building Control Regulations 1997-2009 provides for an exemption of fees in certain circumstances in respect of, among other things, an application for a Fire Safety Certificate made by or on behalf of a voluntary organisation or an approved body for the purposes of the Housing Acts. No fee would therefore be required in respect of an application for a Fire Safety Certificate concerning a school building run by a voluntary organisation. The regulations do not, however, provide for a blanket exemption from fees in respect of schools generally.
