    That would be up to your college.
    I don't know what the story is regarding the SEC and repeats, but you should not have had to pay anything first time round, as a medical card holder.

    Exemptions
    Candidates who hold a current medical card or who are dependent on a parent or guardian who holds a current medical card are exempt from paying examination fees. Applicants who are claiming exemption from fees on this basis must provide Medical Card details to the Commission.

    You shouldn't have to pay any examination fees as long as you have a Medical Card. The fee for a school based repeat candidate is €301, this doesn't apply to you because of your Medical Card. I'm repeating (externally) with a Medical Card and have not had to pay anything.

    When you register on-line there is an option to specify that you have a medical card which negates the payment part of the next section when you next onto it.
