Why is there a difference in the TY and 5th Year price?
Student going into 5th Year paid for a specific TY license at the start of TY as we were unsure how devices would be used at senior cycle. This meant we didn't want them paying unnecessary fees. Now that we have agreed that devices will play a part in senior cycle, those students pay for a 2 year license to get them to the end of 6th year. This means that for the incoming TY class, this will be a once off fee of €99.00 for the 3 year license and we will not be contacting you again in relation to this.
