Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

I would like to ask the Tánaiste about an area in which there is no regulation at all, in spite of five years of Government promises. I am talking about the tens of thousands of people who are living subject to management companies and who cannot even sell their apartment in many cases. The Tánaiste has promised us week after week that we would see this legislation, which is important to so many young couples who are being fleeced for management charges. When they try to sell their apartments, they are impeded in the sale if the management company has not been properly structured.
