Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2004
480 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application by a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be expedited; if he will make a decision on same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8510/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act 1964 which was lodged on 18 February 2003 — dealing No. D2003SM001504G refers.
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. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage.
I am also informed that queries were issued to the lodging solicitor on 12 March 2004 and that the application cannot proceed until these queries have been satisfactorily resolved. However, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
