After consulting with the teaching profession, the Teaching Council decided that annual registration was the way to go, and this is when things really started to go wrong. They didn't listen to the consultation that they received from teachers who overwhelmingly didn't want a change from the three-year registration to the annual registration. The registration process is a stressful time for everyone—teachers, administrators, and principals—and it just adds that extra layer of stress. As it turned out, as we know, it took the Post Primary Teachers' Association case to the High Court to have it reversed. So it just wasn't done properly. It's this sort of behaviour that has led the teaching profession to really distrust, rightly or wrongly, the Teaching Council.
