Description

Architects' Alliance of Ireland

Open Meeting of Practice-Trained Architects

This meeting is open to all disenfranchised architects and to our supporters


THE FENNELL REVIEW

In April this year the Minister announced that in response to concerns about the registration of Architects,
in particular the limited number of applications to date from practice-trained architects,
he had asked Mr Garret Fennell, Solicitor, who is currently serving as Chair of the Admissions Board relevant to the register of Architects,
to carry out an independent review of the experience to date in relation to the operation of the register
with a view to identifying any further improvements that can be made at this point.
The Minister particularly asked for the report to give recommendations or views on how the registration of practice-trained architects can be further encouraged.

--------

The report was published on the 24th September 2013 and
may be accessed as a PDF from our website NEWS page,
where you can also read Minister Phil Hogan's Press Notice.

Email these with the subject "Questions" to spokesperson@architectsalliance.ie



Under Part 3 of the Building Control Act 2007 it is an offence for a person in business to use the title "architect" (or so-called "cognate terms") unless that person is registered in accordance with the Act.
[The Act itself should be read for a proper understanding of the regime.]

Part 3 of the Act includes:-

The entirely new statutory registration of architects; the protection of the title "architect" and all cognate terms - except those specified as being conditionally permitted; an automatic right to be registered for certain classes of person (principally MRIAI); a costly, drawn-out "technical assessment" process for other classes of persons (long-established, practice-trained architects); an extremely costly, permanent architects' registration examination for non-graduates, an appeal system, criminal penalties and overall control granted to the RIAI.

The Act provides no means of redress for dissatisfied clients of registered architects.

Previous Open Meetings addressed:-

The Registration Body; the Present Status of Part 3; Technical Assessment (the Application Fee, the Methodology - RPL & "Learning Outcomes"); the "Pilot Scheme"; the EC Directive; Architect's Certificates; the "Minister's List"; the Competition Authority Report on Architects; Article 45.2 of The Constitution; Undisclosed and Exceptional Procedures; Inconsistencies and Other Faults; Treatment of Other Newly Regulated Professions; The General Law; Ministerial Obligations; Conflicts of Interest; Consumer Protection; Directive 2005/36/EC; The Royal Trinity - Private Company, Statutory Registration Body & Competent Authority; The Compliance Assertions made by RIAI (Ltd); The RIAI "Form of Undertaking Not to Use the Title"; The Failure of the Technical Assessment Process; The then incomplete Status of Registration under the Law; The Alliance Campaign for a Grandfather Clause Amendment to the Act; Alliance Political Support; Lobbying of Politicians; Your Questions about Registration; Next Steps.
