Concession fees blow to students with disability

HUGE fee increases for adult continuing education programmes at night have come to my attention in recent days.

These increases will place a very heavy financial burden on people with disabilities, many of whom participate in these programmes.

This year, UCC has increased fees for night-time courses from €590 to €1,000 while, at the same time, reducing the concession fees for people with disabilities from 30% to 25%.
