asked the Minister for Justice when the registration of an estate (details supplied) in County Wexford will be completed by the Land Registry; and if he will expedite the matter.
Written Answers. - Registration of Title.
60.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for registration of a Land Commission vesting fiat which was lodged in the Land Registry on 8 December 1987. 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 and in general they are dealt with at present only as the need arises.
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.
