Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
General Scheme of the Cooperative Societies Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Pat Moyne:
It is a recognition that there is something in the legislation. We said it could be optional but that there would be something there we could adopt. As well as looking at our rules, we provide model rules for other housing co-ops that want to become established. We would like to have something like that available, backed by legislation, which we could put into the rules and states, if you are going down this route of being a not-for-profit and you are building these houses for community purposes, that would be available to them to use.
