History of Land Mapping in Ireland:Both the Registry of Deeds and the Land Registry are under the control and management of the Property Registration Authority. Since the late 1960s, there has been an ongoing and continuous move away from the older Registry of Deeds system in favour of the Land Registry. This has been facilitated by the introduction of compulsory registration of all titles in the Land Registry on a phased basis. From the 1stJune 2011, compulsory registration has been extended to all Counties in Ireland.
The implication of compulsory registration is that any Unregistered Property purchased in Ireland since 1st June 2011, is subject to compulsory First Registration of the title in the Land Registry in accordance with Property Registration Authority Rules.
