Vol. 517 No. 6
360 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will examine the delay in processing a section 49 application in respect of a dealing (details supplied) in view of the fact that this delay will cause hardship. [10582/00]
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this section 49 application, that is, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act, 1964, was lodged on 16 November 1998. I understand that, due to their complicated nature, applications under section 49 which require detailed examination of claims for registration as owners can take some time to process.
I am further informed that a query issued to the lodging solicitors on 27 March 2000 and that on receipt of a satisfactory response to this query the matter will be dealt with as soon as possible.
