This is a really important issue, and we need to separate it from the issue of defects. This does not just affect apartments. Any observer of large new residential developments will notice that an increasing number of houses are being brought under the remit of owners' management companies, sometimes in very questionable ways. We are seeing this in Adamstown and parts of Lucan. I would support a stand-alone review of the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 that would take place before or just after Christmas. We could call on the Apartment Owners Network to give evidence. Clúid Housing produced a really good research report on the operation of the Act. The author of that report could be invited to appear before the committee. A full review would be really useful.
