To assist with teacher supply challenges in the context of a demographic need, the Teaching Council has proposed the creation of a timebound provision within the revised Teaching Council (Registration) Regulations, 2016. This timebound provision, once enacted, would enable eligible teachers who have qualified outside of the Republic of Ireland (ROI) to apply for registration and complete their induction requirement in the ROI.
The making of the revised Registration Regulations and drafting of the required Statutory Instrument (SI) is progressing. The timebound provision is intended to open to applications from the implementation date of the revised Registration Regulations. It is anticipated that the timebound provision could open in the third quarter of 2025, however, the exact timeline for opening applications is dependent on the implementation date of the revised Registration Regulations.
