Call to waive Junior and Leaving Cert fees again

There’s a call for the government to reverse the decision to reintroduce fees for Junior and Leaving Certificate exams.

Payment opened yesterday, and will close on April 30th.

Sinn Fein TD for Meath East, Darren O’Rourke says there should be a U-turn on the decision, for this year at least:
