I will finish presently but this is a matter of concern to us and, as Deputy Collins said rightly, people who are desperate are being sucked into this.

In so far as the Registry of Deeds is concerned, the documents presented for registration were not deeds within the meaning of section 32(1) of the Registration of Deeds and Title Act 2006. Therefore, no registration could be made in the office. In so far as the Land Registry is concerned, the registers, which are maintained in that office, must consist of information required to be recorded under the Registration of Deeds and Title Acts 1964 to 2006 and be authorised by the land registration rules 2012. The applications received in these particular cases did not constitute applications for an authorised entry on the folios of the register and were not in a form prescribed by the land registration rules 2012. I gather the Property Registration Authority has not received any applications from any other trust of this nature.
