Tailte Éireann is an independent Government agency under the aegis of my Department. Tailte Éireann provides a property registration system, property valuation service, and national mapping and surveying infrastructure for the State. Under Section 8(6) of the Tailte Éireann Act 2022, Tailte Éireann is independent in the performance of its functions.

There is already a mechanism in place which enables applicants to monitor the progress of their applications. The status of all applications pending with Tailte Éireann which affect registered lands may be viewed by anyone on Landdirect.ie by searching for, and entering, the Folio Number of concern. The status provided will update as the application is progressed through the various stages of registration.

Additional details are provided to business account holders, in the main the solicitors acting on behalf of the applicant, who may search Landdirect.ie for the application number of concern to see the current status for all application types, including those seeking first registration of a property.

Applicants may be advised to contact their solicitors if they require further information regarding the current status of any application pending.
