Ivana Bacik (Independent)

As the proposer of amendment No. 37, I am delighted the Minister has accepted its principle, which was suggested by the Apartment Owners Network, AON. It is important the developer should pay or, as the Minister phrased it, "shall, at its expense, effect". Either way, the principle remains the same, but the legislation clearly places the obligation to pay for the insurance policy on the developer. I am delighted the Minister has accepted our amendment. He seems to be on a bit of a roll and I hope it continues in respect of the rest of our amendments on Committee and Report Stages.
