Education Minister Norma Foley has announced this afternoon (Thursday) that there will be no exam fees for this year's State exams.

"I can confirm the waiving of all fees for the 2022 Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle examinations," she said.

"Students will not have to pay the fees which would usually be €116 and €109 for the Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle examinations respectively. We have sought to bring clarity and certainty for students this week by confirming the arrangements for the 2022 examinations and I am pleased to confirm today that fees for this year’s State examinations are being waived."

She added that schools will also be supported and given clear guidance on the arrangements for the examination this year which will be guided by the Public Health advice.

The timetables for the State examinations will be available at www.examinations.ie/ in the coming days.
