Dr. Anthony Breslin:

I will respond to Deputy Durkan's question on whether non-EU graduates registered in Ireland can practise in other countries.

If a non-EU graduate is registered here, that does not give him or her an automatic right to practise elsewhere in the EU. He or she would have to register with that individual country. If someone was registered here and wanted to practise in Portugal, for example, he or she would have to register in Portugal. Portugal would be subject to the same EU regulation about registering them as we are here.
