‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Land Registry Fees. Land Registry application backlog
Summary
Taylor asks why additional staff are not hired to address delays in processing applications, arguing the self-financing Registry could do so without Exchequer cost. The Chair rules the question outside the topic’s scope; Collins offers to consider it if the Chair permits.
If, as the Minister says, the operation of the Land Registry is self-financing, is there any reason for additional staff not being taken on there to deal with the unacceptable backlog in the processing of applications, many of which are held there for months, having regard to the fact that this would involve no additional cost to the Exchequer since the Minister has said himself it is a self-financing operation?
