373 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will clarify the situation regarding residents living in estates managed by management companies; if it is possible for such estates to pass a resolution requesting a local authority to take them in charge after a ten-year period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
