About OMCkit and how we write our guides
Why OMCkit exists
Most small apartment and housing estates in Ireland are run by an owners’ management company with no managing agent: a few owners, volunteering as directors, who need to hold an AGM every year. The law asks a lot of them (notice periods, proxy forms, a section 17 annual report, minutes, registers) and the paperwork usually lives in someone’s old Word files.
OMCkit turns those obligations into ready-to-sign documents and a clear calendar, for €49 per OMC, per year. Until it opens, the guides on this site are free.
Who we are
OMCkit is a small, independent Irish project based in County Cork, Ireland. We are not a law firm, a managing agent or a property company, and we are not paid by anyone we mention. You can reach us at [email protected].
How we write our guides
- The law first. Every rule comes from the text of the Companies Act 2014 or the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011, read on the Irish Statute Book. Each guide lists the sections it relies on, with links.
- Official guidance second. Where the Companies Registration Office (CRO) or Citizens Information explains a rule, we check our reading against theirs.
- One question per guide. Each guide opens with a short answer, then the detail, so a busy director gets what they need in a minute.
- The constitution caveat. An OMC’s constitution can ask for more than the Acts (longer notice, a different quorum). Where that matters, the guide says so.
- No guessing. When the law is unclear or untested, we say that plainly and suggest asking a solicitor rather than presenting an opinion as a rule.
How we keep them up to date
Each guide shows the date it was last reviewed. We review every guide at least once a year, and straight away when the law, a CRO form or a filing rule changes. Corrections are dated on the page.
Found a mistake?
Tell us at [email protected] with the page and the point in question. We reply to every report and fix confirmed errors within a few days.
What the guides are not
The guides are general information, not legal advice for your OMC. For a dispute, a contested vote or anything unusual, speak to a solicitor. See our terms of use and privacy policy.
