Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
745 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position in relation to a land registry application for a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11771/04]
View answerI am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49, that is acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Titles Act 1964 which was lodged on 3 March 2004. Dealing number D2004WS002605V 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. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage. However, the application is receiving attention in the Land Registry.
746 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the delay in dealing with an application (details supplied); when a decision will be made on this application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11795/04]
View answerI am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for transfer of part, which was lodged on 1 October 2003. Dealing number D2003CR008496W refers. I am further informed that this application has been completed and notice of completion issued on 23 April 2004.
747 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the delay in dealing with an application (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11796/04]
View answerI am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for a first registration, which was lodged on 30 October 2003. Dealing number D2003CR009352H refers. I am further informed that a query issued to the lodging solicitor on 31 March 2004 and that the application cannot proceed until this query has been satisfactorily resolved. I understand that due 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 this time. However, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
