Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Key Issues for the Teaching Council: Discussion

5:30 pm

Dr. Lynn Ramsey:

I appreciate that and the Senator will appreciate that we have to work within the parameters of the legislation. We are all the time mindful of the need to protect standards in the public interest, but also balance the need for teaching supply. That piece of legislation was time bound. There is a new piece of EU legislation, which is an EU directive on a proportionality assessment which requires us to undertake a very staged and detailed review of any new legislation that is coming in, or amendments to our legislation. We are constrained by the requirements of that proportionality assessment in that particular case.
