The Report of the Competition Authority entitled Competition in Professional Services — Architects was published in March 2006. The Report contained a number of recommendations in regard to the legislative proposals in the Building Control Bill 2005, which was then before the Oireachtas, for registration of the titles of building professionals, including that of "Architect". The Report received detailed consideration in my Department, and a number of its recommendations were subsequently incorporated in the Bill, which was enacted in April 2007.
