Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Under the Teaching Council Act 2001, the Teaching Council is, since March 2006, the regulator and standards body for the teaching profession.

Accordingly, it holds authority and responsibility for registration of teachers in the State.

As the question refers to an operational matter for the Teaching Council, I am referring it to the Council for early direct reply.
