Seanad: Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (1 Jun 2010)

Ivana Bacik: Amendment No. 31 is to section 14 and would insert a new subsection (2) providing that the "developer shall be liable to pay any charge under this section or section 15, within 30 days of invoice, for any unsold unit as if there were a unit owner for that unit.".

Seanad: Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (1 Jun 2010)

Ivana Bacik: I see the Minister's issue with it but there is this more general problem of how the Bill applies to developments that are still in the process of being constructed when the Bill comes into force.

Seanad: Order of Business (19 May 2010)

Ivana Bacik: I renew my call for a debate on the role of the church in education and the issue of school patronage, about which Deputy Quinn has been speaking for some time.
