Question 308: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his views regarding concerns from practising architects on the delays in the technical assessment process; his further views on the implementation of a new registration scheme for architects, when the technical assessment process is facing such delays and affects practising architects who cannot register and who do not qualify for automatic registration as an architect; if he will provide an update on the technical assessment process; if he will introduce a fast tracking system for existing businesses in the assessment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand that the Technical Assessment Board (TAB) provided for in the Building Control Act 2007 has been established by the Registration Body and arrangements for the assessment process are expected to be finalised shortly. The assessment of applications is a matter for the TAB.
