A NATIONAL TARGET of eight weeks for both probate and conveyancing is to be set by government.
The Taoiseach will bring a memo to Cabinet today from the expert group on probate and conveyancing, a group which was identified as necessary in the Housing For All action plan.
The group was tasked to look at the area in a bid to reduce costs and delays and to make needed housing stock available to market more quickly.
Probate is the legal process to distribute the property and assets left in a dead person’s will.
In February, The Journal reported that delays at Dublin’s Probate Office reached a record high of five months, causing prolonged stress for people waiting on a division of assets to be approved and impacting the housing market.
The delays have steadily increased after a new way of working was introduced at the start of the Covid pandemic to accommodate remote work for the office, replacing the old face-to-face system.
Solicitors have called on the Probate Office to reinstate its face-to-face counter service as they continue to deal with upset clients and poor communication from the office.
The report, which will be published, recommends more digitisation of the processes, a legal change to remove outdated processes and public awareness campaigns around the processes.
In addition, Cabinet will also be asked to approve the establishment of a Building Standards Regulatory Authority.
An expert working group recommended that such a regulator be set up so as to strengthen the oversight role of the State in respect of the design and construction of buildings as well as the use of construction products.
The establishment of such a body is also aimed at reducing the risk of building failures and recurring defects.
The establishment of this authority will require primary legislation and it will have effective powers of inspection and enforcement and a suite of sanctions.
Until such primary legislation is passed, a Building Standards Agency will be established by order to expedite the development of appropriate governance and management structures, as well as to increase inspection capacity by recruiting competent technical staff to support local authorities.

Possible Flooding in South East France and nothern Italy next weekend, if ventusky.com weather forecast predictions come true.
@P. V. Aglue: nothing on the local forecasted for South East France shows anything abnormal so far. Next Sunday forecast is for 4 to 10 mm of rain.
@P. V. Aglue: forewarned is forearmed David, Fri 7 the sat 8th. Buy wheat futures too!
Climate change modelling is an outrigger of the scientific method, which is based on Newton’s clockwork solar system modelling. That awful perspective has a central principle that the Earth doesn’t turn once in 24 hours and a thousand times in a thousand 24-hour days.
The topic of how to demonstrate a round Earth was brought up a number of days ago, and unfortunately, readers once again were unable to affirm the correct equatorial rotation velocity, which affirms that not only is the Earth round, but it is also a sphere.
A pizza is flat, but it can also be round, so the more developed perspective of the Earth as a sphere supersedes the crude flat vs. round choice. The Earth’s rotation demonstrates its shape.
@Gerald Kelleher: So you’re saying it’s the far right, right? Just don’t vote for them, whatever you do! It’ll be floods a go go if you do do.
@Ray Dunne: I doubt ChatGPT is capable of that.
Not funny though, those floods in Germany… (the actual article we’re commenting on)
@Jerry LeFrog: To demonstrate that the Earth is round and a sphere rather than round and flat ( like a pizza), only the maximum equatorial rotation velocity based on the maximum circumference is required.
The basis of all scientific method modelling, including climate change modelling, insists that the value is 1674.4 km/h for a circumference of 40,075 km.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
Clocks and Longitude, including the GPS, base the actual rotation value at the Equator as 1669.8 km/hr.
The day/night cycle, which includes sunrise, noon, and sunset happens once every 24 hours due to one rotation. The academic community denies these facts.
“Owing to the difference between solar and sidereal time, the Earth rotates once more often than 24-hour days in a year” NASA.
@Gerald Kelleher: Same ‘copy and paste’ nonsense every day
@Trevor McCormack:
I had to respond in another article.
@Ray Dunne: I see through thumbs-up approval that most Journal commenters refuse to accept that the sunrise/sunset cycle every 24 hours is not also one rotation of the Earth.
That more than anything demonstrates how easy it is to convince society of the need to control the weather/temperatures (climate change modelling).
@Gerald Kelleher: Again, not all puzzle are created equal. As I pointed out before, some may be square. And calzone better not be flat …
The Earth has been turning and creating the day/night cycle long before humanity appeared on Earth, long before the dinosaurs, and long before life on land and in the sea, so it is the oldest observation people have and perhaps the most precious and immediate experience of a moving Earth.
What could be more beautiful and inspirational, and so what if I am the only person to affirm the connection between the rotation and Earth science?
If people choose a ridiculous notion through a misadventure with timekeeping, these pizza earthers ( round and flat earth) might believe they are in some way superior to others; they are best left to their own devices.
Climate change modelling, like natural selection, will fade without being dealt with properly. They are symptoms rather than the disease
@Gerald Kelleher: You believe in the heliocentric spinning ball in a vacuum MODEL. Flat earthers don’t have a model and don’t think earth is a pizza in space.
@Science: It is late as my location (and me with it) rotates into the dark hemisphere for a number of hours before rotating back into the light hemisphere and the radiation of our parent star
Only scientific method modellers dispute this intimate experience, and they are the foolish people promoting climate change modelling.
Cowardice before basic facts is the worst so you believe what you need to, people need to be courageous and considerate and not silent.
@Gerald Kelleher: If you brought all the theories and counter theories of climate change modelling and all the facts and figures and dropped them on top of the flood in Germany would they be enough to soak it up. If anyone has a spare opinion or theory feel free to add to the pile .
These regions were always prone to floods, and the investment to prevent this and maintenance is discovered often not matching what should have been done. Nothing to do with the end of the world BS climate change
Ha, ha, pięknie…
Mam tego tyle już, że… Że… Żebyście zmiękli
Spróbuj powiedzieć to, nim uwierzysz, że
Nie warto mówić kocham
Spróbuj uczynić gest, nim uwierzysz, że
Nic nie warto robić
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Musisz odnaleźć nadzieję
I nieważne, że nazwą ciebie głupcem
Musisz pozwolić by sny
Sprawiły byś pamiętał, że
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Moja i Twoja nadzieja
Uczyni realnym krok w chmurach
Moja i Twoja nadzieja
Pozwoli uczynić dziś cuda
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże

Nic naprawdę nie pomoże
Nic…
Nic naprawdę nic nie pomoże
Jeśli Ty nie pomożesz dziś miłości

Oni sobie poszli i nie powiedzieli nawet do widzenia
W ten oto sposób dobiegliśmy końca
Dla niektórych nareszcie, dla niektórych szkoda
Pewne, że jest to koniec
Dziękujemy, że przyjechaliście, naprawdę
I… I za wszystko dzięki, zobaczymy się może w przyszłym roku
Jak Bóg da
have your say
