Dear Mr. Ivers, You enquired recently about the present position insofar as delays in the issue of copy maps are concerned. The average output of copy maps (copy folios with filed plans attached) in the first 7 months of 1986 was 5,314. The total arrear of applications at the end of July 1986 was 2,719 which represents approximately 11 working days' work, or an average delay of about 4 weeks when weekends and postal delays are taken into account. About 50% of the demand for copy maps can now be met by way of straightforward photocopying; many of these maps are made available over the public counters within 1-2 days of application. Map reconstruction work, including enlargement from 6 " to 25" scale, is still usually necessary in respect of about half of the applications. This in some cases involves examination of Land Commission estate maps and, possibly, special surveys. In these cases there can be significant delays, sometimes unfortunately extending to several months. As each application is processed a map on the 25" scale is attached to the relevant folio so that any future demand for a copy can be met photographically. In this way the amount of mapping work which has to be done is gradually being reduced. The aim is that eventually it will be possible to issue all copies by way of straight- forward photocopying and that the long delays, which are at present unavoidable in some cases, will be eliminated. The figures of intake and output of applications for copy maps during the 1980s may be of interest. Year Intake Increase/ Output Increase/ Decrease Decrease 1980 38722 41141 1981 53748 +38.8% 54072 + 31.4% 1982 52651 - 2.0% 53014 - 2.0% 1983 56348 + 7.0% 55866 + 5.4% 1984 58596 + 4.0% 58901 + 5.4% 1985 60267 + 2.9% 59555 + 1.1% As can be seen output has generally kept pace pretty consistently with intake and this pattern has continued into 1986. I hope this information will be of help to you. Yours sincerely, P. McMahon, Manager, Land Registry, Chancery Street, Dublin 7.
