Spin recovery is still a requirement for PPL training in Ireland. (although not part of the flight test) To be honest I never really understood the benefit of doing a fully developed spin. Everything that was needed to be learnt was demonstrated up to the incipient stage of the spin.
I remember in the GFT having also to demonstrate recovery from unusual attitudes.
