Batt O'Keeffe (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

The proposed functions under the Bill for the registration of the title of architect will be administered by the RIAI as a registration body and not in its role as the representative body for certain architects. The Bill provides for the making of all registration provisions by admissions boards, technical assessment boards, professional conduct committees and appeals boards independently of the RIAI as a registration body and sets out how these boards are to be appointed. The Deputy should note that the RIAI, as a registration body, will be required to publish a separate annual report, including certified accounts, on the operation of the registration system under section 68. I do not consider the amendment necessary.
