The High Court refused Fiona Roche leave to judicially review the Teaching Council’s teacher-registration refusal on 25 November 2021.

Roche sought registration as a qualified post-primary teacher in Civic Social and Political Education and Religious Education.

The proceedings also concerned whether Roche should receive an extension of the time limit for bringing the judicial review.
