Amharc ar fhreagra796. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage his plans to improve oversight of the owners' management company sector; to introduce a regulator for the sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12018/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 795 and 796 together.
The primary purpose of the Multi-Unit Developments Act, 2011 (MUDS Act) is to reform the law relating to the ownership and management of common areas of multi-unit developments and to facilitate the fair, efficient and effective management of owners’ management companies (OMCs).
The Programme for Government committed to moving the responsibility for the MUDS Act to my Department to streamline support for OMCs and improve oversight.
At present, the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration and his Department continues to have responsibility for the oversight of Owner Management Companies (OMCs) and related regulations.
A timeline for the transfer of functions from the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration (DJHAM) is currently being advanced. Engagement between our Departments is ongoing to ensure this happens in a well-managed and efficient manner.
