Regulatory Bodies
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-15
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I have been in contact with the CRU and there has been some progress in this regard. This question was prompted by concerns among gas installers and the installer representative panel regarding the proposal that the non-domestic regime would be merged with the domestic regime without additional training, specific certification or competencies. There were concerns about safety. There were a number of specific queries on the new proposals. RGIs not trained or competent in non-domestic gas works would be registered with unrestricted scope in all aspects of non-domestic gas works, enabling them to carry out a significant scope of works. Training would not be offered within the current domestic gas assessment cycle. It is important to regulate this sector and to bring it into scope but it needs to be managed in the right way. I acknowledge the increased engagement from the CRU in this regard.
