Justice Committee to focus on the benefits of e-conveyancing

Those addressing the meeting include representatives from the Irish Banking Federation; Law Society of Ireland; Property Registration Authority and the Merger of Property Registration Authority, Ordnance Survey Ireland and Valuation Office.

Committee Chairman David Stanton TD said: “Last Summer, our Committee held a very thought-provoking hearing on the topic of e-conveyancing and we are looking forward to resuming our hearings tomorrow when we will meet with representatives from a number of interested parties to discuss the issue. E-conveyancing is the paperless electronic transfer of title of land from one person to another and could reduce the total transaction time for buying a house to a matter of days.”

This meeting will take place at 2pm on Wednesday, 1st October 2014 in Committee Room 2.

Committee proceedings can be followed live here.
