441. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide an update on the operation of regulation 5 of the Teaching Council (Registration) Regulations 2009; if a transition arrangement was introduced by the Teaching Council to provide teachers, working before April 2013, time to acquire a recognised qualification; the details of the transition arrangement; the number of people who availed of this, if it was in place; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Under the Teaching Council Act 2001, the Teaching Council is, since March 2006, the regulator and standards body for the teaching profession.
Accordingly, it holds authority and responsibility for registration of teachers in the State.
As the question refers to an operational matter for the Teaching Council, I am referring it to the Council for early direct reply.
