In the U.K. the G.M.C. does regard the 6th year of the Czech as an "internship" (leastways it did - I cannot guarantee my info is up-to-date). This means/meant that such graduates are/were eligible for Full Registration and FY2 training posts.

Yes, I think you've got the right idea about what I meant. To get Full Registration with the Irish Medical Council (our G.M.C.) you have to have spent a year working in a hospital under supervision, usually completing 6 months Surgery and 6 months Medicine. This normally happens in the sixth year of an Irish medical course, as I understand it. If the G.M.C. accepts the 6th year of the Czech course as an internship, then I'd say it's very likely that the Irish Medical Council does too. I was mainly concerned that if I had to apply to Irish hospitals to complete my internship, I'd find myself with no offers as the demand for places is very high over here. But is sounds as though I'll be able to do all this in Prague. Again, if anyone can confirm this, that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
