Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

General Scheme of the Miscellaneous Provisions (Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill 2019: Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

Mr. Cormac Quinlan:

There is a recognition process already in place, through CORU, for any institution in Europe or, indeed, beyond. That process already looks at individual applications for recognition and generally approves those.

As I said, there are already mechanisms in place to ensure that should not be a problem, particularly for social workers.
