Vol. 440 No. 4
124 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Justice when an application for registration of land by a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be completed; the reason for the delay by the Land Registry in making a decision on the registration of this property; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the dealing which was lodged in 1992 is for registration based on adverse possession and that the relevant notices have been issued and searches initiated. However, an objection was lodged to the application for registration and on 9 December 1993, solicitors acting for the objector informed the Land Registry that court proceedings were being brought in relation to the application. The solicitor for the applicant was informed of the position by the Land Registry on 20 January 1994.
The application cannot be further processed until the court proceedings have been resolved.
