Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 May 2021
288. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the reason for the inordinate delay in processing a dealing (details supplied) in the Land Registry; if this application will be expedited; the reason the dedicated Oireachtas unit did not provide the reason for the delay in processing this application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22811/21]
View answerThe Property Registration Authority (PRA) provides a service for Oireachtas members to submit their queries concerning the current status of Land Registry and Registry of Deeds applications directly to a dedicated e mail address (reps@prai.ie). However, I am informed that pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation, the PRA is somewhat constrained in relation to the level of detail that it can provide in response to representations regarding a pending application.
I understand that in relation to the dealing referred to, the PRA has an established process in place to investigate such cases. I further understand that the required investigations can take some time to complete but that the PRA endeavours to expedite processing where it is notified of urgency. I am informed that the particular case is being expedited with a view to completing it in the coming days.
