The Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009 was presented to the Seanad on 25 May 2009 and is currently awaiting Committee Stage. The Bill has been developed against a background of extensive consultations by the Law Reform Commission during the preparation of its Consultation Paper and Final Report on the subject. Work is continuing in my Department on preparing necessary amendments to the Bill and, as part of that exercise, my Department continues to have contact with many groups, including groups representing owners of residential units in multi-unit developments.
