Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 October 2004
296 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if registration with the Land Registry will be completed for persons (details supplied); when it will be complete; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26209/04]
View answerI am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the details supplied by the Deputy refer to two applications for registration by way of a Land Commission schedule which were lodged on 9 November 1993. Schedule Nos. V0000WS092314V and V0000WS092315V refer.
Land Commission schedule applications are deemed to be registered as of the date of vesting which is prior to the date of lodgement of the documents in the Land Registry. Accordingly, registration in the Land Registry of Land Commission cases is afforded a lower priority than the registration of other dealings.
I am further informed that queries issued to the lands division of the Department of Agriculture and Food in Cavan on 29 March 2004 and on 22 October 2004 and that these applications cannot proceed until these queries have 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.
