Yesterday Senator Coghlan asked for an update on the Property Services (Regulation) Bill 2009. Both the Property Services (Regulation) Bill 2009 and the Multi-Unit Development Bill 2009 completed Second Stage in the Seanad before the summer holidays, during which there were discussions and many proposals and amendments were suggested for both Bills. Consultations with relevant stakeholders have taken place during the summer recess and discussions with the offices of the Attorney General and the Parliamentary Counsel are now taking place with a view to preparing and drafting Committee Stage amendments.
