I was told this by a teacher. I will go back before Report Stage and report what the Minister said, but I was informed that this does happen and it clearly is unfair. Whatever is in place now is not adequate from the account I was given. I do not understand why it is a problem for the Teaching Council. Even though it does not pay people I do not see why it is a big deal to ask the Teaching Council to inform people that they are not on the register and if they are not on the register they should know they will not be paid.

It does not matter that it is not the body that pays them. It should simply be a piece of information that it passes on to them.
