Ceist:

282 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice the number of applications made to the Land Registry for conversion of title from possessory to absolute from 1 January 1985 to 31 December 1994; and if she will give a breakdown on a county by county basis. [12993/95]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 280, 281 and 282 together.

The Registrar of Titles has informed me that the manner in which work returns have been compiled in the Land Registry does not provide for the specific breakdown of applications as requested by the Deputy.

The manner in which returns are compiled combines the number of section 49 applications, first registration applications and conversion of title applications. The figures for these applications for the calendar years 1985 to 1994 are as follows:

Year

Number of applications lodged

1985

4,236

1986

4,231

1987

3,710

1988

3,402

1989

3,370

1990

3,622

1991

3,118

1992

3,263

1993

3,430

1994

2,923

Total

35,305

A breakdown of figures on a county-by-county basis is not readily available and could only be compiled by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of staff time.
