Medical Council (Penalties) Regulations, 2009

IN exercise of the powers conferred by article 32(1)(c) of the

Healthcare Professions Act, the Minister for Social Policy has made

the following regulations:-

The title of these regulations is the Medical Council

(Penalties) Regulations, 2009.

In such cases as the Medical Council is satisfied that a

charge against a practitioner has been proved, then it may impose a

penalty not exceeding twenty thousand euro.

If a practitioner fails to pay such penalty as is imposed on

him within three months from the date when the penalty is imposed,

then the Medical Council shall order that the practitioner’s name to

be erased from any appropriate register without further notice.

Where the name of a practitioner has been erased from

any register for the reason mentioned in regulation 3 hereof, the

practitioner’s name shall only be restored to the appropriate register

when full payment of the penalty is effected and, in such case, the

Medical Council shall order his name to be restored to the appropriate

register with immediate effect.
