Question:190 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Justice if her Department will expedite a dealing for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo. [6568/97]
Written Answers. - Registration of Title.
The Deputy will recall putting down questions on 15 October 1996 and 4 December 1996 in relation to this case, which refers to an application under section 49, i.e. acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act, 1964 which was lodged on 25 August 1995. I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the most recent queries issued to the lodging solicitors on 2 January 1997. Replies dated 24 January 1997 have been received and the case is awaiting further examination. I understand that due to their complicated nature, applications under section 49 take some time to process and it is not possible to estimate a completion time at this stage.
