Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 April 2009
30 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when legislation to deal with management companies will be brought before Dáil Éireann; if there is a timeframe within which to have same completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14824/09]
View answerLegislation to address the Law Reform Commission's recommendations on multi-unit developments is in the course of being drafted by the Parliamentary Counsel as a matter of priority. The aim is to publish the Bill in the next Session.
The principal focus of the new Bill will be on ensuring good governance of property management companies and similar bodies which comprise the owners of units within multi-unit developments and which exercise management functions in relation to such developments. It is also intended to include provisions for the resolution of disputes arising in relation to such matters. The policy aspects extend to my Department, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
