Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

The Benefits of e-Conveyancing: Discussion

11:55 am

Mr. John O'Sullivan:

Quite a lot of analysis was done in the Law Reform Commission report, which was published in 2006, but there was not a full blown cost-benefit analysis. It is fair to say there has not been a national e-conveyancing end-to-end project in place. The committee has heard what the PRA has been doing and the advances the Law Society in conjunction with its partners has made. There has not been a full blown end-to-end cost-benefit analysis but a review is required to be done under the Construction 2020 programme. There would be an opportunity at that stage to look at what we are talking about.
