Written Answers. - Proposed Legislation.

Deputy Charlie O’Connor asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will confirm plans to introduce legislation to deal with concerns relating to multi-unit developments and the operation and governance of property management companies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33809/08]

  Deputy Dermot Ahern: Work on the preparation of legislative proposals to respond to the Law Reform Commission’s recommendations concerning multi-unit developments and the regulation and governance of property management companies is under way across a number of Departments. Options are being considered in consultation with relevant Departments and the Attorney General as to whether it would be more expeditious to introduce a single Bill or to adopt a sectoral approach to amending existing legislation. The Government’s decision on the matter will be made on the basis of how quickly the required legislation can be enacted.
