Fees were waived in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The government is being urged to make a U-turn on the reintroduction of Junior and Leaving Certificate fees.
The costs of €109 for the Junior Cycle and €116 for the Leaving Certificate were waived in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The measure has been reinstated this year, with payment now due for this summer's exams.
Sinn Fein TD for Meath East, Darren O’Rourke says the fees are adding to the financial strain families are already facing:
