Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 March 2015
773. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amount that was spent on the rebranding of, and new logo for, the Teaching Council, which was funded by the annual levies of teachers nationwide; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11357/15]
View answerIn accordance with the Teaching Council Act 2001, the Teaching Council is the statutory body for the regulation of the teaching profession, including the recognition of teaching qualifications and the registration of teachers.
The decision of the Teaching Council to change its logo was an operational matter for the Council. The Council is self-financing and the cost of this change was not met by Oireachtas or public funds.
