Ceist:308 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department will complete a land registry dealing (details supplied). [26759/03]
Written Answers. - Registration of Title.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this application refers to a Land Commission purchase agreement lodged on 12 February 2001 – schedule No. 93587 refers.
I am further informed that a query issued to the lands division of the Department of Agriculture and Food on 11 November. The application cannot proceed until this query has been satisfactorily resolved.
Land Commission schedule applications are deemed to be registered as of the date of vesting which is prior to the date of lodgement of the documents in the Land Registry. Accordingly, the registration of Land Commission cases in the Land Registry is afforded a lower priority than the registration of other dealings.
I can assure the Deputy that on receipt of a satisfactory reply the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
