asked the Minister for Justice the reason for the delay in relation to the registration of a property transfer for a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; when the registration of the transfer will be completed; and if he will expedite the matter.
Written Answers. - Registration of Property Transfer.

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for subdivision (transfer of part). The application was lodged in the Land Registry on 23 June 1988 but was rejected as not being in order on 7 July 1988. It was subsequently relodged on 8 September 1988.
As there is a large backlog of applications such as that referred to in the question awaiting attention, priority could be given to this application only at the expense of other applications. I am informed, however, that as a matter of policy the Land Registry will expedite cases in which the applicants or their solicitors bring to its attention the fact that special circumstances of urgency exist.
I have also been informed that a request for expedition outlining the reasons for urgency was received in this case from the applicant's solicitor on 18 April 1989 and the application was finalised on 24 April 1989.
