Mr. Boyle is calling here for there to be an easy or a fast-track process here if teachers who qualify in the North or are teaching up there wish to transfer to the southern system. Mr. Boyle talked about some differences in the educational systems. Are there many differences in qualification? I know Irish is one for primary school, but otherwise would there be many differences in the qualifications that teachers receive to teach in the primary sector?
