Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Education and Youth the measures her Department is taking to provide a fair and accessible pathway to primary teacher registration for qualified, experienced teachers who hold Irish teaching degrees and have substantial overseas primary teaching experience; if she will consider extending to these teachers the same pre-assessment and shortfall-identification process recently introduced for teachers who qualified outside the State; if she will review the current reliance on high-cost private programmes such as Hibernia as the only realistic route for many returning teachers to gain primary registration, particularly in light of ongoing teacher shortages, including in Irish medium and rural schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
