LEGAL MATTERS CORNER
MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES
Sharon owns an apartment in an apartment block in a provincial town. The block was developed about 10 years ago and she is a member of the owner’s management company (OMC).
She has never attended an annual general meeting of the management company but has always paid her annual service charges, but she is wondering how the management company works. The running of the company seems to be operated by paid agents rather than the owners themselves.
The above scenario has become more common for apartments and even for houses in estates where a management company may operate. In the apartment situation usually the owner of the apartment holds it under a long lease e.g. 500-999 years and the owner’s management company OMC owns the apartment development.
The OMC is usually a company limited by guarantee. The apartment owners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of their individual apartments, but the structure and common areas are managed and maintained by the OMC. On occasions until matters are investigated it may not be initially clear who is responsible.
Leaks from one apartment to another may constitute an owner issue but the OMC may get involved to make sure it is sorted asap with minimal loss to all parties. On the other hand, a leak from the roof into an owners apartment may be an OMC issue solely if the roof
is their responsibility. Annual service charges are levied to pay for the common services e.g. refuse, insurance, electricity fire alarm systems and agents fees. There should also be an annual amount which is put into a sinking fund which is for building and common area investment. The owners of the apartments have a share each in the OMC and right to attend the AGM and right to vote usually one owner one vote. At the AGM directors are voted in for the following year and the fees for the service charges and sinking fund are set for the year. The lease to the owner sets out what they can and cannot do in their apartment and may have restrictions for example on what can be hung over balconies or attached to the apartment and in relation to not creating a danger or a nuisance on the property. Many OMC also have house rules to adequately manage behavior in the apartments to ensure less conflict between the occupants. Many of these apartments are occupied by tenants who do not have a vote and who are dependent on their landlord to take an interest in what is happening in the OMC. This may not always be the case. The landlord can appoint the tenant to use his vote by proxy.
Owners of apartments may consider joining the apartment owners’ network – www.apartmentownersnetwork.org. The Housing agency conducts useful seminars on these management companies around the country and there is one coming up on the 9/10/24 at the Plaza Hotel Killarney. One can register for this through a link

Naomi says ....
Peperomia Santorini this is an easy to grow plant that is Suitable for small spaces and has a lovely texture to the leaf and a lovely shape to the plant. Requires regular watering every two weeks.
The second plant is pilea inv. moon valley. This is called the friendship plant. Again stunning textures and shapes in the leaf which gives visual appeal to children. Lastly the chamaedorea elegans. This palm has a tropical look to it and is very easy to grow.
For the older children in the house they can enjoy a full range of cacti and succulents.
These plants have a low water requirement and are ideal for small spaces in the bedroom.
We often think that we cannot have plants in the bedroom but it is totally safe and two of the following actually release oxygen throughout the night.
First one is the peace lily. (Spathiphyllum) this is a very easy to grow plant and can go in indirect light.
The second is the snake plant. (Sansevieria) this is the easiest plants commonly named the mother in laws tongue. Grows literally anywhere with very little watering required.
Also , just arrived in stock for all those kids that are interested in the carnivorous plants... Dionaea muscipula the Venus fly trap. These plants are amazing. Giving off a scent to attract those pesky flies and snap shut. This is how the plant feeds itself... Naomi

Kerry’s CAO applicants secure a large number of college offers in Round One
GOOD NEWS!
The excellent results achieved last week by Kerry’s 1,713 traditional Leaving Cert candidates saw them sweep the board in CAO Round One of college offers, which were released at 2pm on Wednesday, 28th August. After a few tense days of expectant waiting, there was joy unconfined when a large majority of Kerry’s CAO applicants received a college offer. On a pro rata population basis, Kerry’s CAO applicants will be close to the top of the class in securing college places. A final CAO application figure of 83,543 - 2,362 from Kerry - meant keen competition across many courses. However, the generous supply of college places that are on offer this year has helped to stabilise the points.It’s very evident that the provision of more college places around the country will help to reduce points requirements and to ease the pressure on young people.School leavers continue to rush to college in unprecedented numbers. The steady flow also of mature and non-traditional applications is a very healthy development as everybody deserves a second chance. A quota of places was reserved by CAO for the 7,365 mature applicants and the 12,055 applicants from the Post Leaving Cert (PLC) sector. Congratulations to all applicants who received a CAO college offer. ...Billy Ryle

County Kerry Cricket Club, the only cricket club in Kerry is expanding!
“ We have four senior men’s teams, a Taverners, two youth teams and a women’s team, with many different countries represented and one of the most beautiful grounds in Ireland with a small pavilion.” says Chairman Dave Ramsay from Tralee “Unfortunately, we don’t have the facilities of toilets or showers, which are now urgently required. We also need to carry out significant drainage works on our pitch. As you can appreciate, toilets are a fundamental requirement and absolutely needed.
We are writing to you to ask you for your help and support. Our project
is to raise €50,000 to build a modest extension which will house the facilities and carry out necessary grounds work.
We want to continue making County Kerry Cricket Club a fabulous place to play cricket. For the sake of our players, and all our visitors, to enjoy the sport they love, keeping active, being part of a team, community and the local area.

Minister Foley has reminded all students of the wide range of wellbeing and career supports available to assist them as they receive results and begin to look ahead to future education and career options they may wish to
explore.
Minister Foley also welcomed the confirmation from the State Examinations Commission this year that it intends to issue the results of any Leaving Certificate appeals on Friday, 27th September, in time for the final round of CAO offers as normal, and also that it intends to issue Junior Cycle results on Wednesday, 9th October– a week earlier than they issued in 2023.

Due to an EU regulatory change regarding certain security screening equipment, the following LAGS rules will come into effect at Kerry Airport from September 1st 2024
1. Only LAGS in containers of 100ml or less can be brought through security – these can stay inside your cabin bag and there are no restrictions on the number of containers or type of LAG (provided they are not dangerous goods) – they do not have to be in a plastic bag.
2. We will accept LAGS in containers over 100ml but these must fall into the category of baby foods/milk, medicines or special dietary requirements – these must be presented at the screening point outside of your cabin bag but do not have to be in a plastic bag – they will be subject to additional screening after they have passed through the x-ray equipment.
3. All other LAGS in containers over 100ml, aside from point 2 above, will be rejected and you will be asked to surrender them at the screening point for disposal.
If you have LAGS that fall into the category of point 3 above, then please ensure they are packed into your hold baggage or else do not bring them. It’s important to note that the screening equipment itself, which is of a high quality, is not in question and also that the European Commission are not acting on any new threat information, but rather they are responding as a precautionary measure to a temporary technical issue that has been identified. We expect to resume allowing all LAGS to remain inside cabin baggage at some stage in 2025.
