The Property Registration Authority has commenced upscaling its operations on a gradual basis in line with COVID-19 recovery planning. As part of a phased recovery plan, the PRA is implementing a graduated increase in the level of applications processed for registration. New work practices and projects are being successfully incorporated into this phased increase.

Applications are being dealt with in order of priority. However, urgent applications are being processed expeditiously, as requested, on a case by case basis.

The upscaling of operations will continue to be reviewed and implemented in line with recovery planning, the Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business and all public health guidance.

Arrangements have been put in place by all State bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. Further information in relation to any specific case may be obtained by contacting the specific e-mail address in respect of the PRA, reps@prai.ie.
