asked the Minister for Justice if he will state the number of applications that were lodged affecting the title of land registered pursuant to the Local Registration of Title (Ireland) Act, 1891, in each of the years 1937, 1940, 1942 and 1943.
Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Registration of Title.
Mr. Boland
The following are the particulars asked for in respect of each of the years mentioned in the question:—
|
1937 |
1940 |
1942 |
1943 |
|
31,712 |
14,691 |
14,305 |
16,364 |
The reason for the large number of cases in 1937, as compared with later years is that up to that year all transactions such as transfers, charges and releases relating to a particular holding of registered land, even though presented for registration at the same time, were returned as separate dealings.
