Vol. 526 No. 3
360 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the situation regarding a particular Land Registry application in County Westmeath; and when this person (details supplied) in County Westmeath will have his land registered in his own name. [26309/00]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this application refers to an application under section 49, that is, 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.
361 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will intervene with the Land Registry on behalf of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo and have his registration application expedited; if he will ensure that it is processed immediately; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26337/00]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this application refers to a transmission on death which was lodged on 21 August 2000; dealing No: D2000SM006640G refers.
I am further informed that queries issued to the lodging solicitor on 16 November 2000 and the application cannot proceed until these queries have been satisfactorily resolved. However, I assure the Deputy that, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
