Mr. Jim Breslin:

Initially, the General Medical Council, GMC, in the United Kingdom would have to recognise the new course. By virtue of its relationship with the GMC, the Irish Medical Council understands where the GMC sets the bar in terms of standards. Once the GMC approved the course, the Medical Council would recognise that as the course meets the GMC test which it considers equivalent to ours, that is sufficient for us to recognise the course.
