Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta. I thank him for raising this issue, which is a growing issue in a number of constituencies. Perhaps his constituency is very prominent in that considering the volume of homes and apartments built and the number of multi-unit developments in place. Of course, that is very welcome but it means we need to put ourselves under pressure to keep the laws of the land and the regulatory structures up to date. It is utterly unacceptable that owners have no access to their OMC and that where concerns are raised around AGMs and the likes, people often cannot straight answers. That is not good. The programme for Government commits to transferring these functions to the Department of housing. The Government remains committed to that. I need to check the exact timeline and come back to the Deputy. My personal view is there is a compelling case to review more broadly the existing law. I will discuss that with the Minister for housing and ask that he liaise with the Deputy.
