As the Deputy will be aware, since 2006, under the Teaching Council Act 2001, the Teaching Council is the regulator and standards body for the teaching profession. The Council is also the competent authority for the recognition of qualifications under EU Directive 2005/36/EC. The Council is independent in the exercise of these functions, including the processing of applications for registration.

The issue raised is an operational matter for the Teaching Council and therefore this matter should be taken up directly with it.
