Vol. 563 No. 4
563 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the Land Registry Office will issue a duplicate land certificate on a folio (details supplied) in County Mayo in view of the fact that it was applied for on 17 October 2002; the work which has been done on this file to date; when the processing of this request was commenced; and the expected completion date provided no queries arise. [8059/03]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for a duplicate land certificate which was lodged on 22 October 2002. Application number S2002SM01306J refers.
The duplicate land certificate applications take time to process due to the fact that notices have to issue to a number of institutions, an advertisement needs to be placed in the Law Society Gazette and certain time limits have to elapse before the application can receive further consideration.
I am further informed that a query in relation to this application and also correspondence regarding the advertisement in relation to the lost land certificate was issued to the lodging solicitor on 18 March 2003 for publication of the notice in the Law Society Gazette. I am also informed that notices in relation to this application were also sent to relevant institutions who may be able to assist the Land Registry with this application on 18 March 2003. Once the notice period expires and on receipt of a satisfactory reply to the query raised, the application will receive further consideration.
