The provided figures are inclusive of small numbers on long-term sick leave/Covid 19-related absences.

The Property Registration Authority operates in an environment which is heavily reliant on paper documents to effect registration and has delivered a high level of service throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.  This has been achieved through substantial office attendance and, also, by incrementally building effective remote working processes across all streams of the organisation’s workflow activities.
