Under Section 30 of the Teaching Council Act, 2001, as amended, a person who is employed as a teacher in a recognised school must be registered with the Teaching Council in order to be remunerated out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas. The conditions for registration including Irish Language Requirement are a matter for the Teaching Council.
