John Carty (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

I am delighted that Deputy Glennon mentioned the land law, which was introduced in my county by the great Mr. Michael Davitt.

Management companies are necessary to deal with the management and maintenance of apartment complexes because of the extent of shared or communal elements involved. Every householder must meet the cost of routine maintenance, repairs and refurbishment from time to time, as well as insurance and some level of security.

This does not affect my county as of yet but with the enormous level of development under this Government, the day will come when there will be large blocks of apartments in Mayo and I look forward to that day.
