Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 March 2004
140 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if steps will be taken to expedite an application for registration by a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath, as same is urgently required; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9534/04]
View answerI am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for first registration which was lodged on 22 August 1997. Dealing No. D1997XS006276J refers.
I am further informed that the application has been the subject of ongoing queries with the lodging solicitor since 13 March 1998 and that the queries which issued on 6 February 2003 were replied to on 23 January 2004.
I understand that, owing to the complicated nature of these types of cases, which require examination of an applicant's entitlement to the property concerned, it is not possible to estimate a date of completion at present.
However, I can assure the Deputy that the application is receiving attention and will be completed as soon as possible.
