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

I move amendment No. 47:

In page 21, to delete lines 45 to 50 and substitute the following:

"(4) A person who is registered pursuant to subsection (1) (other than paragraph (f) thereof) or section 14 shall use the professional title —"architect".".

Amendment No. 47 provides that an architect who is eligible under sections 13 or 14 as a national of an EU member state, the European Economic Area or Swiss Confederation will be entitled to use the title "architect" when registered in the State. The entitlement derives from Article 51 of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications.

Amendment No. 80 provides that a quantity surveyor who is eligible for registration under section 28 of the Bill as a national may be recognised and enjoy the entitlements under Article 52 of the directive. Amendment No. 102 provides similarly for a building surveyor who is eligible for registration under section 42 of the Bill. Such entitlement is also required under Article 52 of the directive.
