Special Report No. 96 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Child Abuse Inquiry and Redress

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
Yes. We do that every six months in writing to the committee. In completing a property transfer, there is a standard conveyancing practice. The indemnity agreement provided that any transfers must be of good and marketable title commensurate with prudent standards of conveyancing practice in Ireland. In many cases, given the age of the properties, the history and title of the property has been proved to be complex.
