Question:135 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will instruct the Land Registry office to expedite a section 49 application for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [2833/01]
Written Answers. - Registration of Title.
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 Title Act, 1964, which was lodged on 12 November 1997. 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.
I am further informed that notice was served on 13 December 2000 on all parties whose interests may be affected by the application, in so far as such parties can be identified. I understand that if no objection is received on foot of the notice served, the dealing will be completed within weeks.
