Part 3 of the Building Control Act 2007 introduced a system of statutory registration for architects and restricted use of the title of "architect" to persons who are registered architects. Neither my Department nor I has any direct role in the operation of this register, nor do my Department or I receive reports in relation to complaints.
Complaints relating to the use of the title are a matter for the professional body designated as the relevant competent registration authority for the purposes of European and National law, namely the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) in respect of the architectural profession.
