Question:361 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a Section 49 application can be expedited in the Land Registry Office for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [4597/01]
Written Answers. - Land Registry.
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 10 July, 2000.
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, it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage. However, I assure the Deputy that the application is receiving attention.
