Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (23 Mar 2022)

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I am not clear however. Is the intention that five members, which is half the board, would still be nominated by the registration body, which in this case, based on his comments, will be the CIF? Is he looking at reviewing that?

Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (23 Mar 2022)
