At the kind invitation of the Irish Property and Facility Management Association (IPFMA), I attended their conference in Croke Park this morning, with the intriguing title of "Seeing Through the MUD".
The MUD in question is the Multi-Unit Development bill 2009, currently before the Oireachtas. The Law Reform Commission made recommendations on the regulation and legislation pertaining to the Property Services industry, and in particular to the role of management operating companies for apartment complexes. The IPFMA have been extensively engaged throughout the process, and the main purpose of today's conference is to consider a number of issues with the current draft legislation, with a view to making a further submission to the Departments of Justice, Equality and Law Reform; and of the Environment.
