Vol. 455 No. 8
294 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice when an application for registration for a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be completed in view of the fact that all the necessary papers for registration were submitted to the Land Registry on 23 June 1992; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13158/95]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the registration referred to by the Deputy involves a Land Commission schedule. In the case of such schedules, the property is deemed to be registered as of date of vesting by the Land Commission. Registration of these schedules is thus, of necessity, afforded a lower priority than the registration of dealings. Where a specific need arises which requires that registration of a schedule be completed, e.g. where a further transaction affecting the property in question arises, then the Land Registry will, as far as possible, expedite such cases.
I am informed that it is the policy of the Land Registry to try, as far as possible, to expedite cases in which it can be established that special circumstances of urgency exist. Any such cases will be specially considered if details of the reasons for urgency are submitted to the Registrar of Titles.
