Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

The registration council, acting with the approval of the Minister, is responsible for the recognition of qualifications for the purposes of teaching in secondary schools in this country.

The application for recognition referred to by the Deputy is being processed at the moment. It is expected that it will be presented to the registration council for consideration at its next meeting which will take place on 23 May 1997.
