1873. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage for an update on plans to establish a unit in the Housing Agency to regulate owners’ management companies. [62594/26]

1879. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage for an update on the movement of responsibility of the MUDs Act to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. [62557/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1873 and 1879 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).

At present, the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration and his Department continues to have responsibility for the oversight of OMCs and related regulations.

The Programme for Government committed to moving the responsibility for the MUDs Act to my Department to streamline support for OMCs and improve oversight and it is expected to transfer in due course.
