160 Mr. Aylward asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress to date on a dealing (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [34754/06]

I understand that the Land Registry has forwarded the information requested directly to the Deputy.

I would like to refer the Deputy to my letter of 26 May, 2006 to members of the Oireachtas regarding a new service for T.D.s and Senators concerning the current status of Land Registry/Registry of Deeds applications. As outlined in my letter, the service was introduced, inter alia, to provide a speedier and more cost effective alternative to submitting Parliamentary Questions.
