Building Control Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
James Bannon (Fine Gael)
The Minister has not made the position crystal clear. I refer to the avoidance of doubt about a conflict of interest in regard to the regulations and registration process. Representation is an important function of special interest groups and others such as the RIAI. The Architects Council of Ireland should be included. The Minister should do this. I request him to broaden the scope of the Bill to include the council in all the functions of the regulation that will be carried out by this division. Perhaps the Minister will consider the matter.
