I have already outlined amendment No. 41 which provides, inter alia, that a panel may request a teacher to give certain undertakings or consent to certain measures. Amendment No. 50 is necessary to provide that in such circumstances the panel will make a decision to confirm these measures.

Amendment No. 53 ensures such decisions which are arrived at on foot of voluntary agreement by the teacher are not subject to an application by the Teaching Council to the High Court for confirmation of the decision.
