328 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the concerns which have been expressed about the operation of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and in particular sections 35 to 39 thereof relating to unregistered easements which may be extinguished if not registered by agreement or confirmed by court order prior to 31 December 2012 which may result in title uncertainties and legal conflicts all over the country; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the Law Society conveyancing committee has now raised concerns in this regard; if he will establish a group to examine the issue and advise in good time on any appropriate amendment to the Act. [40213/10]

The position is that my Department has recently received a submission from the Law Society's Conveyancing Committee in relation to this matter. The issues raised in the submission are being examined at present.
