I understand that, as part of an escalated recovery plan, the Property Registration Authority (PRA) is now providing a full range of registration services.  However, the PRA is currently experiencing an increased backlog due to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis, but as the number of applications being lodged is decreasing, response times will improve over time. 

The PRA's information unit responsible for handling telephone enquiries is resuming next week and arrangements are being put in place to re-open the PRA public counter.  Customers can continue to send their enquiries to info@prai.ie.

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