Question:

320 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that important information is being lost as a result of the shredding of documents as a result of the Property Registration Authority’s move towards e-conveyancing; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that such documents are of enormous benefit to persons wishing to research their family tree; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I take it that the Deputy is referring to a newspaper article which appeared in the "Irish Times” on 23 December, 2009. I would like to refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 366 of 2 February, 2010 which sets out the position in relation to this matter.
