118. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to extend the period for registering rights of way or otherwise amending the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21906/18]

The position is that section 38 of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 was amended by section 38 of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011 in order to extend from 3 years to 12 years the period for registering rights of way acquired by prescription based on a user period under the law applicable before commencement of the 2009 Act. While I have no plans at present to further amend the 2009 Act, the operation of the law in this area is being kept under review by my Department.
