Question:490 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application (details supplied) can be expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7037/03]
Written Answers - Registration of Title.
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 29 October 2002. Dealing Number D2002SM009490Y refers. 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 23 January, 2003 and that a reminder issued on 10 March, 2003. I am also informed that the application cannot proceed until these queries have been satisfactorily resolved. However, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
