The new registration board will determine the criteria. I can understand fears on this issue but it had to be introduced for this reason. One cannot introduce legislation that would immediately discriminate against some excellent people working in the private sector. I do not suggest for one moment that the Psychological Society of Ireland wanted to do that, as I understand its fears, but we managed that issue in a way that does, and will, satisfy its requirements.
