I thank the Chairman and committee members. This is a short technical Bill. As the Chairman said, its purpose is to amend the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 to provide that any non-Irish health professional qualification which has been recognised either by the Minister or the bodies acting on behalf of the State will not have to be re-recognised for the purposes of registration under the Act.
