272. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his views on charges for resitting examinations in universities; his plans to prevent the practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12843/18]

Higher education institutions are autonomous bodies and therefore the day to day operations including the determination of the fee rate applicable for individual students in relation to re-sitting examinations is a matter for the governing authority of each institution.

Accordingly, my Department has no function in relation to such matters. The final decision on this issue is a matter for the individual higher education institution.
