Under the section, a citizen of the State or another EU member state does not have to satisfy the linguistic test. Only non-EEA citizens will have to satisfy the council they have the linguistic competence. Does that mean, for example, somebody from Nigeria who speaks reasonably good English would have to undertake a linguistic test while somebody from Hungary, which is an accession state, would not? Is there a provision to preclude a citizen of Hungary, for example, who has the relevant qualifications and experience from working as a pharmacist in this State?
