Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 June 2007
501 Deputy Michael Noonan asked the Minister for Education and Science if the qualifications of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick will be acknowledged as the equivalent of a degree from a university here; if the person will be given full recognition as a teacher and be paid full incremental salary; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Teaching Council is the statutory body in this country for the recognition of teaching qualifications. If the Teaching Council decides that the qualifications held by an applicant for recognition satisfy the requirements for the granting of provisional recognition, the person concerned, on being appointed to an approved post in a recognised primary school, would be eligible for the payment of incremental salary by my Department while the provisional recognition continued to apply.
