Property Registration delays
Deputy Moynihan said delays at the Property Registration Authority were jeopardising a constituent's home and asked about staffing shortages. The Taoiseach said he was unaware of the problem but would pass it to the line Minister.
The programme for Government includes several commitments to protect home owners from repossessions by banks. I am working through a very serious case on behalf of a constituent where problems have emerged as consequence of the backlog in the Property Registration Authority. We have fought might and main to get the case through but to no avail. Is the Taoiseach aware of the shortage of staff in the Property Registration Authority and that the delays in processing documents are causing untold hardship? In the case to which I am referring it looks like the family home will be lost because of the delay in getting documentation through the registration process.
