View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 697 and 740 together.
The responsibility for the Multi-Unit Developments Act, 2011 (the MUDs Act), falls under the remit of my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.
The Programme for Government committed to moving the responsibility for the MUDs Act to my Department to streamline support for OMCs and improve oversight. A timeline for the transfer of functions from the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration is currently being advanced. Engagement between our Departments is ongoing to ensure this happens in a well-managed and efficient manner.
