Vol. 519 No. 2
274 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will expedite a section 49 land registry application for a person (details supplied) in County Cork in view of the fact the delay is causing considerable difficulty. [13305/00]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this dealing refers to an application under section 49, that is, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Titles Act, 1964 which was lodged on 16 March 2000. I understand that, due to their complicated nature, applications under section 49, which require detailed examination of the applicant's claim for registration as owner, take some time to process. However, I can assure the Deputy that the application is being expedited by the Land Registry.
