The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is being negotiated by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (DJEI) on behalf of the Irish Government. My department are monitoring the negotiations which are now in the tenth round by actively engaging with DJEI throughout the negotiation process.

It is intended that nothing in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership will affect the rights of the Irish Government to regulate education services in the way that Government wishes to do so.
