asked the Minister for Justice when an application for registration of a farm (details supplied) in County Sligo will be approved; and if he will expedite the matter.
Written Answers. - Farm Registration.
50.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for registration based on possession which was lodged in the Land Registry on 16 June 1989. There is a long delay in dealing with such cases in the Land Registry. This delay is partly due to the complex legal issues involved and the pressure of work generally.
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 as a matter of policy the Land Registry will expedite cases in which the applicants or their solicitors bring to its attention the fact that special circumstances of urgency exist. Accordingly, a request for expedition in this case will be considered if details of the reasons for urgency are submitted to the Land Registry.
