Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Multiple Unit Developments: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brian Lambe:

The MUD Act did quite a bit to regularise that, so it is one vote per unit in the example given by the Deputy. That can cause issues and difficulties where people may feel their vote does not matter. A big part of the solution is to guide, support and engage owner-occupiers to become part of the board of that OMC in order that they can then see that institutions like AHBs are well intentioned and want the best for the whole community.
