Vol. 550 No. 2

Written Answers. - Registration of Title.

Willie Penrose

Question:

500 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if two applications for the rectification of title to lands owned by persons (details supplied) in County Westmeath will be dealt with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7876/02]

The Registrar of Titles has informed me that the dealings quoted by the Deputy refer to applications under section 49, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act, 1964. These applications were lodged on 12 November 2001.

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. I can assure the Deputy that the applications are receiving attention in the Land Registry.
