Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 June 2004
251 Mr. Noonan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the status of the application to the Land Registry for the transfer of land to persons (details supplied) in County Limerick; and when the matter will be finalised. [18718/04]
View answer: I 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 28 January 2004. Dealing Number D2004PS001871Q 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.
I am further informed that queries issued on 18 June 2004 and 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.
