Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 March 2012
402 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when the Property Services Regulatory Authority will be established on a statutory basis; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12655/12]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that I intend to make an order establishing the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) as soon as possible. An advertisement inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified persons for appointment as members of the Authority was published in December and a broad range of applications was received by the 21 December deadline. These have been assessed and I am currently finalising arrangements concerning the appointment of the first members of the PSRA. Other arrangements, necessary for the establishing of the Authority on a statutory basis, are proceeding concurrently.
