Limerick East): The Medical Council is now processing this person's application for temporary registration which will be granted subject to verification of all documents and qualifications. This will enable the person to practice in this country. To obtain permanent registration, a doctor who has not qualified in Ireland must work here for a minimum period of 208 weeks and must either have a post-graduate qualification or sit and pass an exam set by the Medical Council.
