Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for first registration, which was lodged on 6 August, 2003. Dealing Number D2003TJ013898V refers.

I understand that due to the complicated nature of these type 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.

I am further informed that a query issued to the lodging solicitor on 19 May, 2004 and that the application cannot proceed until this query has been satisfactorily resolved.

However, I assure the Deputy that on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
