Vol. 453 No. 3
160 Mr. O'Dea asked the Minister for Justice the number of counties the Government intends to transfer to the new Land Registry Office in Waterford; when the new Land Registry building in Waterford will be completed; and the way in which land registry folios in Dublin will be transferred to Waterford. [9326/95]
Arrangements for the decentralisation of part of the operations of the Land Registry to Waterford city are proceeding. It is intended that the sections of the Land Registry dealing with the counties of Carlow, Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny, Laois, Limerick, Offaly, Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford will be transferred to Waterford.
A site for the Waterford Land Registry Office has been selected at Cork Road, Waterford. The Office of Public Works is at present finalising the development brief prior to seeking tenders for the construction work. It is hoped that the building will be ready for occupation by early 1997.
