Mr. Hubert Fitzpatrick:

We, in the federation and the association, want CIRI to be put on a statutory footing and all our members to register. Where members do not comply in any way with their legal obligations and the regulations laid down by CIRI they will be expelled and, if they are, they will also be automatically expelled from the CIF and the Irish Home Builders Association. We want an organisation with teeth which supports standards. If members do not comply with standards they will no longer be members of the organisation.
