I presume the Deputy is referring to the application by this individual for the recognition of professional qualifications.

The Academy of Medical Laboratory Science (AMLS) is the competent authority for the implementation of Directive 92/51/EEC in relation to the recognition of professional qualifications in medical laboratory science. This Directive is now consolidated, with other Directives on the recognition of professional qualifications, into Directive 2005/36/EC for which my colleague the Minister for Education and Science has overall national responsibility. As the Deputy was recently advised, the AMLS is in the process of reviewing the application and I am advised that it will be in touch with the Deputy very shortly.
