Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2020
690. Deputy Stephen Donnelly asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government when the Property Registration Authority and or Land Registry will be operational again (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9758/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that the Property Registration Authority (PRA) is upscaling its operations in line with Covid-19 recovery planning. As part of a phased recovery plan, the PRA is implementing a graduated increase in the level of applications processed for registration. New work practices and projects are being successfully incorporated into this phased increase.
Applications are being dealt with in order of priority. However, urgent applications, such as cases in which a delay would hold up the sale of a property, are being processed expeditiously upon request on a case-by-case basis.
The upscaling of operations will continue to be reviewed and implemented in line with recovery planning, the Roadmap for Re-opening Society and Business, the Return to Work Safely Protocol and public health guidance.
In relation to any specific case, arrangements have been put in place by all State bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. Further information in relation to any specific case may be obtained by contacting the dedicated e-mail address in respect of the PRA at reps@prai.ie.
