Vol. 514 No. 1
220 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application for registration by a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath will be expedited in view urgency involved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3674/00]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this application refers to a section 49 application, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act, 1964 which was lodged on 9 July 1999.
I understand that due to their complicated nature, applications under section 49, which require detailed examination of claims for registration as owners, can take some time to process. Accordingly, although it is not possible to estimate a precise completion date for the application concerned at this stage, the application has been marked "expedite" and will be completed without delay.
