asked the Minister for Justice when the case of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick regarding a land registry dealing will be completed; and if he will undertake to have this application expedited.
Written Answers. - Land Registration.
157.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for first registration which was lodged in the Land Registry on 18 December 1985. There is a long delay in dealing with such applications in the Registry partly because of the usually complex legal issues involved and partly because of pressure of work generally. The application is at present under consideration but it is not possible to say at this stage if or when registration will be effected.
The Deputy will, of course, appreciate that it would not be possible to give favourable treatment to any particular application except at the expense of other applications. I am informed, however, that the Land Registry gives priority to applications in respect of which it is brought to its attention that there are special grounds for urgency, such as bridging finance for example. That, in fact, is the position in regard to this application.
