In line with the Memorandum of Understanding on the Common Travel Area, which was signed by the Irish and UK Governments in 2019, I am committed to ensuring that students from Northern Ireland will continue to be treated on the same terms as an Irish student for fees purposes. The Common Travel Area will apply, notwithstanding of the outcome of the Brexit negotiations.
