Sean McMahon, a former President of the INTO from Mullagh in West Clare, will chair the organisation which is the professional standards body for the teaching profession.
Two other Clare teachers have been appointed to the Council, Mary Curley who teaches in Doora, and Anne Howard, a teacher from Shannon.
