Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Finance and Economics: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Justin McCamphill:

There was a general teaching council for Northern Ireland. However, it became very dysfunctional. A report was done on it that said it was the worst dysfunction that anyone had ever seen in a public body. It is now under review but, with no Assembly in the North, it will not be possible to have a replacement. The INTO has a position that we should try to expand the Teaching Council here to Northern Ireland as well but that is, I suppose, something that would need to be teased out.
