Does CoCollab support Irish OMC voting rules?

Yes. Configure weighted or one-member-one-vote counting, set quorum thresholds and record proxies — matching what the MUD Act 2011 requires.

What does the MUD Act require from an OMC each year?

The Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 requires the OMC to hold an annual general meeting, present the annual service charge budget to members for approval, establish and contribute to a sinking fund for non-recurring works, maintain insurance, and provide members with access to company records. Decisions on the budget and the sinking fund must be put to the members rather than taken by the directors alone.

What can an OMC do about service charge arrears in Dublin?

Arrears are a debt owed to the company, so the OMC can issue reminders, apply interest where the constitution allows, withhold non-essential services that are not part of the statutory obligations, and ultimately pursue the debt through the courts. In practice, early, consistent and documented reminders recover far more than late legal action, and the paper trail matters if the case is contested.

Can we upload the sinking fund report and let members search it?

Yes — every document is AI-searchable, so members can ask 'what was spent on the roof in 2024?' in plain English.

Condominium management software for Dublin

CoCollab gives Dublin condominium boards, managers and residents one shared platform for weighted voting, issue tracking, transparent finances and AI-searchable documents.

In Dublin, apartment blocks are run by an Owners' Management Company that every unit owner is a member of, under the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011. The recurring pressures are insurance costs, defect remediation in Celtic Tiger-era blocks and keeping the sinking fund credible. CoCollab gives the OMC one place for members, votes, budgets and documents.

Why condominiums in Dublin use CoCollab

Irish OMCs face rising insurance premiums and MUD Act compliance pressure. CoCollab makes the annual sinking fund review and member voting trivial to run online.

The OMC model: every owner is a shareholder

Buying an apartment in Dublin makes you a member of the OMC, not just a resident. The company holds the common areas, the directors are unpaid owners, and an agent is usually contracted to do the operational work. Decisions that matter — the annual budget, the service charge, the sinking fund contribution — are voted by members at the AGM.

Because directors are volunteers who rotate, institutional memory is thin. Whatever is not written down and stored centrally is effectively lost at the next handover, which is how blocks end up re-litigating decisions taken three years earlier.

What Dublin OMCs spend their meetings on

Insurance renewal: premiums have risen sharply and the renewal quote is now a standing AGM item.
Fire safety and construction defects in blocks built between 1998 and 2008, including remediation levies.
Sinking fund adequacy — the MUD Act requires one, but many blocks are still under-funded against a real lifecycle plan.
Service charge arrears and the practical limits on enforcement against a fellow owner.
Car parking, bike storage and short-term letting in central and docklands developments.

Making the AGM count

Quorum failure is the most common Dublin AGM problem: members do not attend, the meeting is inquorate, and the budget rolls over by default. Proxies solve it, but only if they are requested at the same time as the notice and collected in a form the chair can verify.

Circulating the draft budget, insurance quote and sinking fund report a fortnight before the meeting turns the AGM from a briefing into a decision — and gives members something to actually vote on.

Dublin OMC benchmarks (indicative — check your own company documents)

Benchmark	Typical position
Legal framework	Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 plus the Companies Act
Governing body	Owners' Management Company, directors elected from the members
Typical block size	20–150 units in suburban and docklands schemes
AGM frequency	At least annually, with the budget presented to members
Sinking fund	Statutory annual contribution per unit, set by the members
Heaviest cost lines	Block insurance, lift maintenance, cleaning, fire safety compliance

The MUD Act sets the floor; your company constitution and lease may impose more. Read the latest service charge budget alongside these benchmarks.
