Question:

122 Ms Lynch asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he intends to introduce legislation to establish a registration system for architects to ensure that persons who hold architectural qualifications will be allowed to practise as architects. [36656/05]

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

The Government plans to introduce the building control Bill before Christmas. This Bill will provide for, inter alia, statutory protection of the title of “Architect” so that only those who are suitably qualified and registered will be lawfully entitled to use the title “Architect”.
