Under section 183 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, an estate can be taken in charge in circumstances where 80% of residents indicate their assent. This mechanism was only used once in South Dublin County Council and I tabled the motion in respect of it.

Is that a constitutional right of a person in an apartment? Section 183 refers to 80% of the signatories being taken-in-charge. What right do they have to say they want to get rid of the management company? Does that apply to them? Are they disenfranchised under that Act?
