Ceist:

496 Deputy Arthur Spring asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when he will appoint nominations to an independent Professional Conduct Committee in view of the fact that legislation was introduced in the Building Control Act in 2008 to provide for the establishment of the Professional Conduct Committee on a statutory basis to deal with the registration and regulation of architects; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan)

Arrangements for the appointment of the Chairperson and the nomination of the majority of non-architect members to the Professional Conduct Committee in line with Section 23 of the Building Control Act 2007 are currently in hand and I expect this matter to be finalised in the near future.
