Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

I understand the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is also taking an interest in this area. Who will deal with management companies in the future? It is listed for the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform but I understand the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, as he should, will take an interest in this issue. Thousands of people are now living in homes subject to very high management company charges, perhaps not in Kerry, a Cheann Comhairle, but in Dublin West people are paying €2,000 a year to have a little bush clipped at the front of their house.
