It is welcome that the Minister will consider some of these points and revert to the House on Report Stage. I urge him to consider the €90 charge for registering with the Teaching Council. It is a large amount if a teacher does not find a job. There should be a means of reclaiming at least a portion of this amount if someone does not secure gainful employment after six months. This is the least we could do for qualified teachers who cannot find jobs and are in receipt of social welfare payments.
