The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science holds the national coordination role for two EU Directives. These Directives were transposed into Irish law in 2017 and 2022 respectively and as follows:

  • Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications (as amended by Directive 2013/55/EU) was transposed by S.I. No. 8/2017 - European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2017.
  • Directive (EU) 2018/958 on a proportionality test before adoption of new regulation of professions was transposed into Irish law by S.I. No. 413/2022 - European Union (Regulated Professions Proportionality Assessment) Regulations 2022.
At present there are no further Directives pending transposition under this Department’s remit.
