Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
306. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will address a matter (details supplied) regarding the use of a courier service by the Teaching Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36808/17]
View answerThe Teaching Council is the statutory professional standards body for the teaching profession, which promotes and regulates professional standards in teaching. The Deputy is referring to an operational matter for the Teaching Council in which I have no role. In carrying out its functions, the Council is expected to adhere to public policy requirements on the efficient use of resources and in relation to procurement. The issue should be taken up directly with the Council.
