I propose to take Questions Nos. 168, 169 and 183 together.

I refer to the reply to Question No. 169 of 7 March 2013 which sets out the position with regard to the current status of the Approved Housing Body (AHB), Léim an Bhradáin, and the roles and responsibilities of my Department and the housing authorities in relation to the voluntary housing capital funding schemes and the management and maintenance of properties provided by AHBs.

Copies of the original Memorandum and Articles of Association were submitted to my Department in December 1996 by the Léim an Bhradáin Housing Association in accordance with the requirements for the granting of Approved Status under Section 6 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1992. In accordance with the terms for granting Approved Status , my Department and the relevant housing authorities should be advised of any change of name, change of objects or legal constitution of an Approved Body. To date my Department has not been notified of any such changes by the Léim an Bhradáin Housing Association.

Tenants of approved housing bodies and other interested parties wishing to obtain information in relation to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of an approved housing body should contact the Companies Registration Office for the relevant details. Copies of the original Memorandum and Articles of Association held by my Department in respect of the Léim an Bhradáin Housing Association will be forwarded to the Deputy very shortly.
