Written answers

Tailte Éireann is an independent Government agency under the aegis of my Department. Tailte Éireann provide 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.

The Land Register is a public record and an inspection or copy of any folio is available to any person on the payment of the prescribed fee as per the Land Registration Fees Order.

Regarding the question of notification of any changes to a folio, it is understood from Tailte Éireann that, in addition to the notice of completion sent to the lodging party of an application, generally a solicitor, notice is otherwise only served where required under section 106 of the Registration of Title Act 1964 (as amended by the Registration of Deeds and Title Act 2006) and the Land Registration Rules 2012 to 2021

Lodging parties may contact Tailte Éireann in relation to a specific case by email at info@tailte.ie. Further information in relation to specific cases may be obtained by Oireachtas members by contacting the dedicated e-mail address in respect of Tailte Éireann at oireachtas@tailte.ie.
