View answerResponsibility for the regulation of gas installers is a matter for the Commission for Regulation of Utilities.
Under the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 (as amended), the Commission for Regulation of Utilities is responsible for regulating the activities of gas undertakings and gas installers with respect to safety.
The Commission for Regulation of Utilities is accountable to a Committee of the Oireachtas. Therefore, as Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, I do not have any role or function in this matter.
