The Dental Council has opened a new registration pathway to process applications from dentists who have been granted refugee protection in Ireland (permanent and temporary). This includes dentists granted temporary protection from the conflict in Ukraine.  This pathway was established in accordance with the General Systems provisions of the EU’s Professional Qualifications Directive.

The Dental Council has contacted prospective applicants to advise that the registration pathway is now open.
