The Advisory Council for English Language Schools (ACELS), which regulates the English language education sector, was integrated into the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI) on 1 January 2010. In accordance with agreements made upon the transfer of ACELS functions and staff to the Authority, a Liaison Committee, comprising the CEO and Board members of the organisation referred to by the Deputy and Authority staff members, was established. This Liaison Committee meets four times a year for briefing and discussion of matters relating to English Language Teaching in Ireland.
