asked the Minister for Justice when a Land Registry dealing (details supplied) in County Wexford will be completed; and if he will expedite the matter.
Written Answers. - Registration of Land.
62.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that there is a long delay at present in the Land Registry in dealing with applications such as this partly because they are usually of a complex legal nature and partly because there is a large backlog of applications awaiting attention. It is not possible at this stage to say when, or if, registration will be effected.
The Deputy will, of course, appreciate that it would not be possible to give favourable treatment to any particular application except at the expense of other applications. I am informed, however, that the Land Registry gives priority to applications in respect of which it is brought to its attention that there are special grounds for urgency, such as bridging finance for example. Accordingly a request for expedition in this case will be considered if details of the reasons for urgency are submitted to the Land Registry.
