The All-Party Committee on the Constitution, in its ninth progress report on private property, recommended that the existence of options should be included in the categories of transactions to be revealed publicly as a measure to achieve transparency in property markets generally. While the registration of land is not a matter for the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, the recommendation will be addressed in the context of the Government's overall response to the committee's report.
