Students from the EU pay the same fees as locals (EU fees, �3,000 and up per year). Others pay full fees (�7,000 and up). Education Ireland has more details about costs.
Students coming from non EU countries have to pay for disability specific services where the costs are significant. This money should be provided by the student through their home University.
