Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kieran Kehoe:

I think there are timelines referenced in it. There is a little bit of an anomaly with regard to whether it is five or seven years. That is one of the clarifications we will be putting through to the Department. Depending on which way it is read, it must be taken in charge within five or seven years, or at least the management company or residents can submit a plebiscite for a request to take it in charge. There is at least the intention to introduce timelines for the request for it be taken in charge. If there are enforcement issues, that muddies that water a little bit and needs to be clarified. The Deputy is right in that vein. However, there is at least the introduction of those timelines, as far as I am aware. The detailed submission will reflect that.
