I propose to take Questions Nos. 806, 845, 851 and 868 together.

At present, the Minister for Justice and his Department continue to have responsibility for the oversight of Owner Management Companies.

Under the Programme for Government my Department will take responsibility for the Multi-Unit Development Acts to streamline support for owners’ management companies and improve oversight.

A timeline for the transfer of functions from the Department of Justice is being advanced and engagement between our Departments is ongoing to ensure this happens in a well-managed and efficient manner.

As part of the transfer, my Department will consider any resources required to enable the work, within my Department and the Housing Agency.
