I refer to the reply to Question No. 480 of 29 April, 2008 which set out the procedures for the technical assessment process for registration under Part 3 of the Building Control Act 2007.

Section 14 of the Act provides that a person who is a fellow or member of the registration body (the RIAI) is automatically eligible for inclusion in the statutory register of architects. Section 14 also provides that membership of the registration body is not a prerequisite for registration or continuance of registration but that all registered professionals are eligible for membership of the registration body.
