Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 8:

In page 10, line 36, after "areas," to insert the following:

"apartment complexes (within the meaning of section 50),".

Section 3 contains general powers in respect of the making of regulations by the Minister. Section 3(2)(b) provides that regulations may apply generally or to specific housing authorities or areas. They may also apply to any specified class of matters, including designated apartment complexes which come under the scope of part 4 of the Bill. The subsection also provides that the different provisions of any such regulations may apply to different housing authorities or areas or different classes of matters. Amendment No. 8 provides, in common with all other matters individually specified in the subsection, that different provisions of the regulations may be expressed to apply in respect of the different classes of apartment complexes coming within the scope of part 4. I commend the amendment to the House.
