The Deputy may be aware that, with effect from 28th March, 2006, the Teaching Council is the designated authority for recognition of qualifications for the regulated profession of primary and secondary teachers.

Persons wishing to be registered as a teacher in this country must apply to the Teaching Council for recognition of their qualifications. I do not have any role in such matters.

The Teaching Council has informed me that there was correspondence between the Council and the person referred to. However, I understand a request for further documentation in support of the application was made (June 2007) and a response is awaited. Any queries in connection with the application should be made directly to the Teaching Council by the individual concerned.
