Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Under the Teaching Council Acts 2001-2015 the Teaching Council is the statutory body with responsibility for the registration of teachers.  

The person to whom the Deputy refers is advised to continue to liaise directly with the Teaching Council in relation to meeting the requirements for registration.
