I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for court order which was lodged on 20 September, 2004. Dealing Number D2004SM0009751Y refers.

I am further informed that a query issued to the lodging solicitor on 19 May 2005 and that the application cannot proceed until this query has been satisfactorily resolved. However, I can assure the Deputy that on receipt of a satisfactory reply the application will receive further attention in the Land Registry.

Question 493: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application for registration by a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath will be expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21003/05]

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49, namely, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Titles Act 1964, which was lodged on 18 April 2005. Dealing Number D2005XS007295Y 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. Accordingly it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage.

I am further informed that a query issued to the lodging solicitors on 12 May 2005 and that the application cannot proceed until this has been satisfactorily resolved. However, I can assure the Deputy that, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
