I have already outlined amendment No. 40, which provides, inter alia, that a panel may request a teacher to give certain undertakings or consent to certain measures. Amendment No. 49 is necessary to provide that, in such circumstances, the panel will make a decision to confirm those measures. Amendment No. 52 ensures that such decisions, which are arrived at on foot of a voluntary agreement by the teacher, are not subject to an application by the Teaching Council to the High Court for confirmation of the decision.
