CIRI Admissions and Registration Board

The CIRI Admissions and Registration Board (CARB) was established in September 2023. It is made up of a chairperson and 10 ordinary members, who encompass a broad range of disciplines and expertise to meet specified criteria. The CARB Chair and members were officially appointed by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

Functions of CARB:

• Recommend the register divisions, competences and eligibility requirements to the Minister of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH).
• Establish a CPD policy.
• Determine the assessment process for admission to the register.
• Approve applicants as registrants.
• Review complaints relating to the register
• Apply sanctions including removal from register if necessary.

The CARB and Appeals Committee are both independent of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF).
