Question:

51 Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills if an application (details supplied) will be processed and finalised at an early date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30346/11]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

As the Deputy may be aware, the recognition of teacher qualifications in this State is now a matter for the Teaching Council, the body with statutory responsibility for establishing and maintaining standards in the teaching profession. While it would not be appropriate for me to intervene in individual cases, I have forwarded the Deputy's correspondence on to the Teaching Council for a direct reply.

Question No. 52 answered with Question No. 48.
