Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The Multi-Unit Developments Bill came into the House in May of this year. It completed Second Stage in the Seanad before the summer recess. Since the publication of the Bill, the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform has received a significant number of submissions from stakeholders and interested parties regarding the provisions contained in the Bill. Following receipt of those submissions, the Department held consultations regarding this complex Bill with many of the relevant stakeholders and other Departments. Work is continuing on the drafting of necessary Committee Stage amendments in the Department. That was the position as of 15 December.
