523. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will request that private schools provide a partial refund on the fees parents have paid as a result of schools closing during the year in the same manner that insurance companies have provided partial refunds; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Board of Management of a School is charged with the direct governance of schools under the Education Act. The level and extent of schools fees charged or decisions regarding reimbursement of such fees is a matter for each school Board of Management to decide. My Department has no role in such matters.
