Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputies for their constructive contributions to the Second Stage debate and their support for the Bill overall. As I indicated earlier, the purpose of this technical Bill is to amend the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 to provide that any non-Irish health and social care professional qualification which has previously been recognised in the State will not have to be recognised again for the purposes of registration under the Act. Holders of such qualifications can then be statutorily registered and practise their professions. I commend the Bill to the House.
