Mr. Connaughton
asked the
Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform
when an application for registration was received by the Land Registry Office; the contact that the Land Registry Office had with the solicitors concerned; the lodgements made on 18 April 2005; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
[17687/05]
Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell):
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49 — that is, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession — of the Registration of Titles Act 1964 which was lodged on 26 April 2002. Dealing number D2002GY003490D 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. I am further informed that queries were issued to the lodging solicitors on 13 May 2003, 6 January 2004, 18 February 2004, 10 January 2005 and 5 May 2005. While responses have been received from the lodging solicitor, the Land Registry is not satisfied that the registration requirements have been met. I am also informed that there were no lodgements made to the Land Registry in respect of this application on 18 April 2005.
[434]Until the queries raised have been satisfactorily resolved, the application cannot proceed. However, I assure the Deputy that, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
