Vol. 559 No. 5
332 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a section 49 application in the Land Registry Office will be completed for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; the position on this matter. [26337/02]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49, i.e. acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act, 1964, which was lodged on 18 March, 1999. Dealing number, D1999SM001693V refers to this.
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 queries issued to the lodging solicitor on 9 October, 2002, and that the application cannot proceed until these queries have been satisfactorily resolved.
