Vol. 368 No. 1

Written Answers. - Land Registration.

167.

asked the Minister for Justice when a dealing case (details supplied) in County Limerick, which went to the mapping branch of the Land Registry early in June, will be completed.

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the case to which the Deputy refers is under consideration in the Land Registry at present but it is not possible to say at this stage when it will be finalised.

168.

asked the Minister for Justice when a dealing (details supplied) in County Limerick will be completed; and if he will expedite this case in view of the long delay involved.

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that registration on foot of the dealing, the reference number of which was supplied by the Deputy, was completed on 6 September 1982. No other dealing in respect of the folio referred to by the Deputy can be traced in the Land Registry.

169.

asked the Minister for Justice when the Land Registry will complete a dealing schedule for persons (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if, in view of the long delay in this case which arose from the fact that it had to go through the Land Commission originally, he will undertake to expedite the dealing.

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for registration of a Land Commission vesting order which was lodged in the Land Registry on 11 April 1986. Such applications are not generally as urgent as other applications because registration of title takes effect retrospectively from the date of vesting. There is at present an unavoidable delay in completing registration in these cases due to the pressure of other more urgent applications.

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. Accordingly a request for expedition in this case will be considered if details of the reasons for urgency are submitted to the Land Registry.
