Under the centrally agreed protocols which apply to the decentralisation scheme, those applicants who, prior to September 2004, listed Roscommon as their first preference on the Central Applications Facility (CAF), are dealt with first. I understand from the Property Registration Authority (Land Registry) that the person concerned is not on the CAF priority list.

The Property Registration Authority has acquired temporary accommodation in Roscommon to facilitate an advance move of staff but these offices can only accommodate those people on the priority list. The application which the Deputy has referred to will be processed in the context of the roll out of the permanent accommodation and in line with the agreed protocols.
