2 Property Registration Authority Annual Report 2015

The Property Registration Authority (PRA) was established on 4th November 2006. The key contributions of the PRA to the Irish economy are to provide a register of title to land and to guarantee security for those dealing with property.

We have now reached a position where over 93% of the total land mass, comprising almost 88% of the titles in Ireland, is registered in the Land Registry. The system of recording deeds, in respect of the remaining titles, operated by the Registry of Deeds, while still functioning effectively and efficiently, is gradually reducing and will, ultimately, be of interest primarily to historians and genealogists.

Security of title is the cornerstone of the services which the PRA provides and the systems of “Title Registration” and the “Register of Deeds”, as described above, collectively provide a comprehensive record of property transactions.

Following the enactment of the Registration of Deeds and Title Act 2006, both systems are under the control of the Property Registration Authority. The Authority has as a strategic goal the completion of the register leading to a single system of title registration supportive of Government policies on land administration, including electronic registration, electronic conveyancing and the emerging Irish Spatial Data Infrastructure.

The principal functions of the PRA are to:

1. Provide and maintain a system of registration of Titles and Deeds in accordance with the relevant legislation

2. Promote and extend the registration of ownership to land

3. Deal with applications under Part 3 of the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2)) Act, 1978

4. Keep the Minister for Justice and Equality informed of progress in relation to the registration of ownership to land and to assist him or her in the development of policy in relation to such registration

5. Provide reliable and comprehensive information and certification services

6. Maintain financial viability.

The Role of the Property Registration Authority


The Mission of the Property Registration Authority is:

To promote and safeguard the legal, societal and economic framework of property ownership in Ireland

On behalf of the Property Registration Authority I am very pleased to introduce the Annual Report for 2015 and to note that steady progress continues to be made in all areas.

During 2015 the PRA continued to implement the strategies and objectives of the Strategic Plan for 2013-2015 and the Report contains detailed accounts and analysis under the various headings in the Plan.

The new Strategic Plan for the PRA for the period 2016 – 2018 was published in December 2015. This plan continues to build on the achievements of previous Strategic Plans and outlines how the Authority will focus on meeting its legislative responsibilities and on implementing Government policies and initiatives over the next three years.

The acceleration and completion of the Irish Land Register continues to be a primary statutory remit of the PRA. The level of voluntary certification in compulsory first registration areas significantly increased in 2015. Certified titles represented 73% of first registration applications compared to 68% in 2014. This was due to a combination of factors including the success of our “outreach” programme, utilising the expertise of the professional staff of the Land Registry, supported by comprehensive online information, together with the lower first registration fee applicable to certified titles since December 2012. The use of an enhanced Legal Services team helped to support the processing of applications requiring full examination of title.

The extension of First Registration transactions, other than sales and leases is still under active consideration.

In the context of continuing to provide an efficient and effective service to our customers, the Land Registry despite a further 2.73% reduction in staff numbers in 2015, has reduced the backlog of cases on hand and work is continuing to reduce the backlog further. A 40% increase was recorded in the demand for spatial and related data during 2015 over 2014, numbering 275 requests. A similar increase was recorded in data extraction jobs carried out on behalf of Government Departments, State Agencies and Local Authorities. A noticeable increase in such extraction jobs for the private sector was recorded, many coming from surveying / engineering practitioners who are engaged in large scale projects on behalf of Local Authorities.

In 2015 the level of usage of our online services by business account holders and non-account holders through landdirect.ie, amounted to a total of 5.2 million, an increase of 2.2 million transactions over 2014.

Foreword by the Chairperson of the Property Registration Authority

John T. Coleman Chairperson


The Authority exercised its Corporate Governance responsibilities through the work of the Audit Committee, Internal Audit Unit, the management of the Risk Register, Data Protection guidelines and a framework of Procurement procedures.

Considerable progress has been made during 2015 with regard to the Merger of the PRA, OSi and the VO. The Transfer of Functions Orders to authorise the move of the Valuation Office and OSi under the aegis of the Minister for Justice and Equality has been approved by the Government. The transfer became effective on 1st January 2016. Work is ongoing on the development of a Corporate Data Model for Tailte Eireann covering the key operational data in all three organisations.

A project to consolidate voice telephony systems for the merged organisation is progressing – this has been implemented in the Valuation Office and work is continuing on the integration of OSi. Work is ongoing on establishing a brand for the new organisation – the website www.tailte.ie is now live and work has begun on the development of a staff Intranet. It is hoped that Taillte Éireann will be established by legislation in the near future.

In the area of Finance, the Report documents that €57.35 million was remitted directly to the Exchequer in the form of fees collected by the PRA, an increase of €10.25 million over 2014. Expenditure amounted to €28.8 million, similar to that of 2014.

I would like to thank my fellow Authority members for their support and expertise throughout the year and to compliment the Management and Staff on their hard work and dedication. I would also like to take this opportunity to especially thank Authority member Frank Brannigan whose term of office ceased during the year.

I look forward to working closely with all concerned again in 2016.

Progress against the objectives set out in the Strategic Plan 2013-2015


our objectives


Advance the completion of the Irish Land Register by extending Compulsory First Registration (CFR) while arresting the growth of unregistered titles.

The PRA continued to actively implement the strategies and options available to it to extend compulsory registration of ownership of land. The completion of the register is an express mandate of the PRA. Previous initiatives are continuing and being built upon.

The level of voluntary certification in compulsory first registration areas continued to increase during 2015. Certified titles represented 73% of first registration applications received in 2015 compared to 68% in 2014. This was due to the continuing successful “outreach” programme utilising the expertise of the professional staff of the Land Registry, supported by comprehensive online information together with the lower first registration fee applicable to certified titles since December 2012.

Legal Services comprising of staff at all levels from Clerical Officer upwards and headed by an Examiner or Chief Examiner of Titles, continue to support the processing of applications requiring full examination of title.

Consideration is continuing in regard to extending “triggers” for first registration to transactions other than sales and leases.

Initial consideration indicates that the passage of the legislation for the merger of the Authority, Ordnance Survey Ireland and the Valuation Office would provide a suitable legislative basis for Tailte Éireann, on its own volition in appropriate circumstances, to transfer titles from the deeds registration system in Registry of Deeds to the titles registration system in the Land Registry.

our objectives


Ensure the reliability and accuracy of the Register through effective registration practices and rigorous quality and process assurance systems and structures.

Statutory Enactments

LegislationIn 2015, there was no primary legislation directly amending the Registration of Deeds and Title Acts 1964 and 2006.

Most of the Companies Act 2014 (No. 38 of 2014) was commenced on the 1st June 2015 by the Companies Act 2014 (Commencement) Order 2015 (S.I. No. 169 of 2015). This has resulted in a number of amendments to our practice directions and further changes will be necessary.

New and Revised Practice Directions in 2015Other than minor administrative changes and updates, there were no substantive amendments made to the Practice Directions during 2015.

Legal Office NoticesA total of 2 new Legal Office Notices were published on the PRA’s website www.prai.ie in 2015 and one of the existing Legal Office Notices was updated.

Spatial Information ServicesThe PRA public sector outreach programme to raise awareness of the value of LR spatial data is ongoing, with the Spatial Data Unit continuing to develop processes to facilitate the delivery of spatial data to both public and private sector organisations The demand for Land Registry spatial and related data continues to increase with 275 requests for data received during 2015. This represents an increase in the region of 40% compared to 2014. Many of the requestors were repeat customers, with most of the ‘Route Searches‘ and ‘Area Searches’ being used to facilitate State funded infrastructural projects.

The number of data extraction jobs carried out on behalf of Government Departments, State Agencies and Local Authorities during 2015 presents a similar pattern when compared with 2014 figures. However, there has been a noticeable increase in data extraction jobs carried out on behalf of the private sector with many of the requests coming from surveying/engineering practitioners who are engaged in large scale projects on behalf of Local Authorities . There is also evidence to suggest that there has been an increase in the level of activity relating to companies involved in renewable and sustainable energy technologies.

2015 witnessed a notable increase in the demand for the PRA Spatial Information

2Unit to manage the lodgement of electronic map files. These files, in CAD format, are becoming the preferred option for some Surveyors/Engineers when lodging application maps to facilitate registration. The SIU handled 406 such applications throughout 2015.

The Spatial Information Unit also produced statistical reports for PRA management. Such reports were used to monitor patterns of registration types and generate heat maps. The investment made by PRA in developing the Spatial Information Unit which facilitates enhanced spatial data management, indicates an excellent return on investment in terms of both monetary savings and efficiency gains to the State and the citizen.

eRegistrationThe PRA continues to actively work on the roll out of electronic registration initiatives, which will be fundamental to any future system of eConveyancing in Ireland. Since 2009 the PRA has provided two eRegistration services, eDischarges and eCharging Orders, which have delivered substantial efficiencies to all participating parties. The eRegistration functionality was extended in 2013 to allow for the secure exchange of deeds of transfer, the electronic payment of fees and electronic notifications. The deeds are drafted on the eRegistration system, which allows for information to be pulled directly from the Land Register thus creating efficiencies and consistency in the documentation. It is planned that the functionality will be extended to Deeds of Charge with a pilot to take place in the first half of 2016.

Also a working group, comprising nominees of the Law Society, the Banking & Payments Federation Ireland and the PRA, have completed a report on the process of electronically registering Priority Entries (a facility to protect the

our objectives


priority of a legal interest on a property) and work will continue on this in 2016. A number of web services are also available which allow the developers of case management systems develop interfaces from these systems with those of the PRA.

Process/Quality AssuranceThe PRA sees process assurance and quality assurance as a critical feature of the registration process to ensure that our customers can rely on the product being delivered and that the procedures and processes in place reflect what is contained in our Acts, Rules and Practice Directions. This is also designed to support and enhance the overall corporate governance and reputation of the PRA which offers a State Guarantee.

The Process Assurance Unit functions include the inspection of randomly sampled completed casework for the purpose of assessing that our practices and procedures are being complied with. The Group also examines/reviews all aspects of the registration process. The outcomes and findings are remitted to Senior Management and remedies applied as appropriate.

The Quality Assurance Unit is responsible for corrections to the Register which are identified both internally and externally. This includes a range of staff engaged on suitable map maintenance, data integrity and reviewing the overall quality and correctness of registrations on the Folio Register and Land Register Map.

Where issues are identified in the registration, it is PRA policy to engage with our customers at the earliest opportunity to seek correction of the data on the Register.

The analysis of the quality assurance is used to develop and improve training programs and initiatives which will lessen the possibility of incorrect registrations and the risk to the Register.

our objectives


The maintenance of an excellent service and the continued extension of the services available to customers of the Land Registry and Registry of Deeds.3Land Registration

RegistrationIt is generally the case across the international land registration domain that the level of annual activity is measured by reference to the number of changes to the register. An application may include a number of simultaneous transactions resulting in multiple changes to the register; for example, an application may include a transfer of ownership, a new charge and a cancellation of an existing charge which will bring about several changes

Number of changes to the Land Register: 424,425.

Work on handThe Land Registry continued to actively engage in clearance of cases throughout the year. The reduction in the number of cases on hand was achieved through a process of optimising work practices underpinned by a targeted approach to prioritising casework.

In addition to the casework clearance programme, substantial progress has been made in respect of reducing ‘turnaround times’ – see Service Delivery Targets below.

The ongoing co-operation of the staff of the Authority is a very significant factor in the productivity levels achieved.

3Certification and SearchingAs part of the delivery of its electronic services, the PRA has developed a suite of innovative online information and registration services. These are available online via the landdirect.ie and eRegistration.ie services.

During 2015 over 5 million searching and certification transactions were processed through the landdirect.ie portal.

Registration of Deeds The number of applications submitted to Registry of Deeds during 2015 was 32,562, an increase of 27% on 2014.

The number of applications registered in the Registry of Deeds during 2015 was 32,334 which was a 31% increase on the 2014 figure. There was a 5 – 15 day working arrear of casework in the Registry of Deeds. The arrear was due to staff shortages plus an increase in Intake.

Ground Rents ApplicationsThe PRA operates the Ground Rents Purchase Scheme under the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (no. 2) Act, 1978 under which owners of leasehold property can purchase their Ground Rent (freehold interest). This scheme commenced in 1978.

In 2015, the intake of consent applications increased by 25.6% (422 as opposed to 336), and the output was 404 compared to 203 in 2014, which represents an increase of 99%. The year saw a 19.2% increase in the intake of arbitration applications from 396 to 472 while output increased by 36.8% from 269 to 368.

Details of the activity in 2015 and the comparative figures for 2013 and 2014 are shown in the table at Appendix 5.

eServicesThe following table outlines the number of subscribers and the level of usage of online services for the last 3 years. These services are delivered to both business users and the general public through landdirect.ie.

our objectives


In 2015, the overall usage included 5.2 million transactions accessed through our landdirect.ie service by both Business Account holders and by non-account holders who wish to search our maps and view folios online without having to open and maintain an account.

There were also 423,621 online transactions relating to the Registry of Deeds.

The PRA’s websites are a valuable communication mechanism and a useful source of information for our customers. An extensive upgrade to our website www.prai.ie in 2014 has enhanced the range of online services provided to our customers.

our objectives


Customer Information UnitThe Information Unit provides a first point of contact for Customers who contact the office by telephone. The staff in the Unit have been trained to provide, in so far as is possible, a responsive and direct service for our customers who have queries without the need to further transfer the calls to other staff in the PRA. Obviously, some queries, which might be more complex or case specific, will have to be transferred to other staff with more specialist skills or experience in specific casework but in excess of 75% of the calls are dealt with directly by the Information Unit. The Information Unit operates between the hours of 9am and 5pm.

Customer Focus GroupThis forum met twice in 2015. Meetings of this group, which is representative of the PRAs main stakeholders (legal practitioners, financial institutions, local authorities, law searchers), provide a continuing opportunity for consultation on a range of issues and the dissemination of information on any changes planned or being introduced.

Outreach programme A growing area of activity in recent years has been the involvement of staff from the PRA in organising seminars, conferences and training courses for key stakeholder groups. PRA officials participated in, and made presentations on, a range of topics at a number of seminars and training courses for solicitors and other customers during 2015. Details of these can be found at Appendix 10.

Visitors to the PRASince the completion of the PRA Digital Mapping Project and Folio computerisation, many Land Registration administrations from around the world have been inquisitive as to how this transition was planned, managed and successfully implemented. In this regard, 2015 was no exception with the PRA hosting delegations from Cayman Islands, Germany, Scotland, South Korea.

The PRA team, in conjunction with a team from the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government also facilitated a series of workshops in the Dublin, Roscommon and Waterford offices to facilitate coaching Local Authorities in the transfer of water based assets to Irish Water. The PRA is always willing to meet with practitioners from other jurisdictions and share the experiences of our success story. Each year, the PRA also facilitates Geomatics students from the Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street by delivering a presentation on all aspects of PRA mapping. This provides the students with an appreciation of the concepts which underpin land registration in Ireland.

3National Heritage WeekThe Registry of Deeds again participated in National Heritage Week in 2015. A total of 10 tours were organised in the second last week of August 2015.

The tour commenced with a brief history of the beautiful Gandon-designed building, drawing attention to some of its unique features.

A synopsis of the registration process was also provided and the Registry of Deeds’ collection of documents of historical importance was exhibited. The tour also included a demonstration of records of genealogical interest, ranging from very old records up to the present day of computerisation. All tours were received very positively and the Registry intends to participate again in 2015.

Exhibiting at EventsIn 2015, the PRA were delighted to take part, in conjunction with our merger partners, the Valuation Office and OSi, in a joint exhibition at the National Ploughing Championship which was again held in Ratheniska, Co Laois.

The purpose of the exhibition was to showcase our online services and to provide information to the public regarding the merger of our three organisations. Feedback received was very positive and we will continue to collaborate at future events.

The PRA also, for the first time, took part in the Ideal Home Show at the RDS in October 2015. There was great interest in our stand and again, feedback was very positive. We look forward to attending again in 2016.

AccessibilityThe PRA makes every effort to provide facilities and services that are accessible to all of its customers. Contact details for Access Officers are provided on our website in order that any person with a disability can avail of assistance in accessing our services or attending our offices.

Service through the Irish language 5 applications for registration in the Irish language were completed in 2015.

Complaints Procedure6 formal complaints were received during 2015 and were dealt with under the PRA’s Complaints Procedure.

our objectives


The enhancement of efficiency by developing and maintaining appropriate human, management, financial and technical resources.

Our PeopleAt the end of 2015 there were 533 employees or 486.76 full time equivalents (FTE) in the PRA workforce. This represents a decrease of 2.73% or 27 staff on 2014 arising from 3 voluntary transfers, 15 retirements and 9 resignations including 8 temporary Clerical Officers. The breakdown of FTEs across locations is as follows: Dublin 263.05, Waterford 162.11 and Roscommon 61.60.

A gender breakdown is provided at Appendix 11. 59.66% of staff are female and 40.34% are male. The age breakdown of the workforce shows that nearly 30% of employees are over 55 years of age. The National Disability Authority target of the Public Service for employment of persons with a disability is 3.5% of total staff. In the PRA 6.56% of employees declared themselves as having a disability in 2015.

Over 90% of PRA staff participated in the Performance Management Development System (PMDS) during the year.

Internal Promotion Competitions The 3rd iteration of workforce planning was submitted to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in April and delegated sanction to fill gaps was received in late July in respect of posts up to Principal Officer level, subject to pay bill. For the first time since the start of the recession in 2008 it was possible to commence rollout of a series of internal competitions to fill identified skills and knowledge gaps. Cross functional arrangements have been embedded within the HR and Finance Units to monitor pay bill expenditure and underpin the workforce planning process.

To enhance the skills of participants, competency based interview training was provided for both selection board members and all candidates. An interviewee skills course was devised and delivered in-house. Eight competitions were held for which 127 applications were received. In total there were 18 promotions during 2015. The grades involved included Deputy Registrar, Examiner of Titles, Senior Mapping Manager, ICT Manager, Regional Mapping Director and Assistant Principal (Legal Services).

our objectives


Attendance ManagementThe proactive management of sick absences was prioritised by HR and in early 2015 presentations on the issue were given by the HR Manager in all locations. In tandem progress was made on devising an appropriate initiative on mental health and wellbeing. A lowered lost time rate of 4.11% was subsequently achieved for 2015, which is a reduction of one third on the 2010 figure of 6.14%. This is just below the civil service average reported the Department of Expenditure and Reform for the year 2015. The actual number of employees availing of sick leave in the PRA reduced by 25 during the year and the overall cost of sick absences reduced by 41.70% since 2010. This achievement is partly attributable to the increase in pay affected sick leave since the reduction of sick leave limits in the civil service in 2014.

Staff Engagement Staff engagement was given a new impetus in 2015 whereby the Transformation Forum was retitled Working Together and a new Statement of Intent adopted by all partners comprising staff, union and management representatives. The overarching objective is to foster staff engagement and promote collaborative and participative approaches to problem solving in the PRA. Two meetings were held in 2015 and a working group was established to devise a new staff climate survey.

Continuous Personal and Professional DevelopmentThe PRA has in place three main educational initiatives to enhance talent management and succession planning. Firstly, refund of fees for self –selected third level courses and 7 staff availed of this scheme in 2015. Carmel O’Shea was the recipient of a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management (Law) from Dublin Business School. Secondly, there is in place a sponsored legal education scheme and three members of staff were called to the Bar in 2015. These were Isobelle Lyons and Joseph McGranaghan, both Executive Officers in our Dublin Office and Liam Lalor an Assistant Principal in our Waterford office. During the year there were also four additional staff attending King’s Inns. Thirdly, 24 staff were studying on incentivised technical degree and masters courses. During 2015 Jennifer Foley completed an MSc in Geographic Information Science and Jennifer O’Connor completed an MSc in Geospatial Engineering from Dublin Institute of Technology.

Specialist legal training was provided as required by the Learning and Development Unit and local trainers. During 2015 three people received Train the Trainer qualifications – Eamonn Morris, Colette McNulty and Declan Power. To enhance leadership capacity at senior level a programme of executive coaching commenced for members of the Management Board.

Providing Support for the MergerThe HR Manager is a member of the Merger Strategic HR and Change Management Working Group and continued to be involved in various initiatives during 2015 including the development of training workshops with the Institute of Public Administration for middle managers of all three merger partners. In addition the L&D Unit coordinated a series of seminars delivered by staff from each organisation which took place in the first quarter and covered Dublin locations.

The Assistant HR Manager is a member of the working Group on Central Shared Services which continues to examine the issues the alignment of HR processes across the three merging partners.

Financial ReportingA comprehensive system of Financial Reporting is in place within the PRA:

◯ The Chief Executive provides a financial overview to Authority members on a monthly basis

◯ Formal reports on actual expenditure against budgets are submitted to the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on a monthly basis

◯ The Annual Appropriation Account is prepared and submitted to the Comptroller and Auditor General

◯ Relevant and timely reports containing Financial and non-Financial information are provided to Senior Management.

Ongoing expenditure management in 2015 resulted in the achievement of further reductions in respect of both current and capital expenditure. Costs have been decreasing on an annual basis since 2008.

ICT Disaster RecoveryThe PRA, in recognition of the critical role ICT plays in the provision of services to its customers, maintains an ICT Disaster Recovery (DR) site in its Waterford office.

The production ICT infrastructure, which is centralised in the Chancery Street office in Dublin, is replicated in the DR site and a copy of all data is maintained there, updated as registrations are effected. In the event of a disaster, natural or otherwise, that destroys the production environment, ICT operations can be restored within an estimated 24 hour period and delivered from the Waterford office.

our objectives


To ensure that appropriate governance policies, structures and procedures are implemented and monitored.

Overall Governance and Control FrameworkThe overall Governance and Control Framework within the PRA is guided by the Registration of Deeds and Title Act 2006, the recommendations of the Report of the Working Group on the Accountability of Secretaries General and Accounting Officers (the Mullarkey Report), the Public Financial Procedures and Code of Conduct for the Governance of State bodies issued by the Department of Finance.

The Authority must be satisfied that the appropriate structures and processes are in place to ensure that they have the ability, objectively and effectively, to assess management and organisation performance.

The Authority is responsible for compliance with all statutory obligations applicable to the PRA.

The Chief Executive is responsible to the Authority for the performance of his duties and for providing it with such information in relation to the performance of those functions as the Authority may from time to time require. The Chief Executive is the Accounting Officer and in that capacity is accountable to the Oireachtas in respect of all funds voted to the PRA for the provision of services. The Accounting Officer must prepare, on an annual basis, an account of expenditure and receipts, known as the Appropriation Account and present this account to the Comptroller and Auditor General.

The main elements of the Governance Framework are as follows:

Audit CommitteeAn Audit Committee consisting of a number of members external to the PRA, together with two Authority members is in place since 2007. The Audit Committee reviews and assesses the work of the Internal Audit Unit. The Committee also reviews the PRA’s approach to Risk Management. Four meetings of the Audit Committee were held in 2015.

Internal Audit UnitAudits are conducted by Internal Audit across the range of activities of the PRA including financial, operational and governance. Five audits were completed in 2015. All reports were submitted for consideration to the Accounting Officer and to the Audit Committee.

Risk ManagementA Risk Register in accordance with the Department of Finance guidelines is maintained on an ongoing basis. The maintenance of the register is designed to ensure that risks are identified and assessed and necessary mitigating actions are, where resources allow, put in place.

The Risk Register is compiled by Senior Management and presented to the members of the Authority on a quarterly basis for approval.

Data ProtectionThe PRA registers as a Data Controller with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner on an annual basis as required by law.

The Data Protection policy of the PRA consists of a set of guidelines for staff based on the 8 Data Protection Rules to ensure that the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 are complied with. The policy is reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis.

ProcurementAll procurement activity is guided by the Public Procurement Guidelines and Policies published by the Department of Finance. There is a framework of procurement procedures in place including segregation of duties, regular management reporting and a system for the authorisation of expenditure. Formal sanction is sought from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for all expenditure above an agreed threshold.

Financial ReportingA comprehensive system of Financial Reporting is in place within the PRA:

◯ The Chief Executive provides a financial overview to Authority members on a monthly basis

◯ Formal reports on actual expenditure against budgets are submitted to the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on a monthly basis

◯ Returns of Fee Income received are submitted to the Exchequer on a weekly basis

◯ The Annual Appropriation Account is prepared and submitted to the Comptroller and Auditor General

In addition, in accordance with the Code of Business Conduct for the members of authorities, the members of the Property Registration Authority register their interests in other undertakings with the Secretary on their appointment..

Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005The PRA is committed to ensuring the well-being of its employees by maintaining a safe place of work and by complying with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and with relevant codes of practice and guidelines where appropriate. The central PRA Health and Safety Committee meet regularly during the year and there are local Health and Safety Committees in the Waterford and Roscommon offices. These committees monitor health and safety within the PRA and encourage safety awareness and accident prevention in the organisation. The PRA also participates in the Occupational Health and Safety Risk Management Network for State Agencies. The objective of the Network is to contribute to the continuous improvement of the management of occupational health and safety risk in State authorities.

The PRA is committed to implementing Government policy in the area of Value for Money. The Chief Executive is responsible to the Authority for her/his performance in this regard. The Chief Executive, as Accounting Officer, is also accountable to the Oireachtas for ensuring Value for Money.

The Budgetary Committee examines all major items of expenditure and actively oversees the value for money programme in the PRA.

◯ This committee actively manages the PRA’s budgetary allocation. Actual expenditure from the PRA Vote for 2015 amounted to €28.8m (a similar level to 2014). It is worthy of note that since 2008 net expenditure has reduced by 38% (2008 net expenditure €46.2m)

Merger of organisationsThe Government’s Public Service Reform plan of 2011 included proposals for the rationalisation of a number of State bodies. In October 2012, following a critical review, one of the measures approved by the Government was the merger of the Property Registration Authority, the Valuation Office and Ordnance Survey Ireland.

In 2013, a Project Board was formed to drive implementation of the merger.

A number of sub-groups have been established to develop key organisational objectives – these are

Considerable progress has been made during 2015:

◯ The Transfer of Functions Orders to authorise the move of the Valuation Office and OSi under the aegis of the Minister for Justice and Equality has been approved by the Government. The transfer will become effective with effect from 1st January 2016.

◯ Work is ongoing on the development of a Corporate Data Model for Tailte Eireann covering the key operational data in all three organisations.

◯ A project to consolidate voice telephony systems for the merged organisation is progressing – this has been implemented in the Valuation Office and work is continuing on the integration of OSi

◯ Work is ongoing on establishing a brand for the new organisation – the website www.tailte.ie is now live and work has begun on the development of a staff Intranet.”

7International InitiativesStaff of the PRA participate in a number of relevant international bodies to ensure that the organisation’s policies and priorities are represented on important issues which have an impact on land registration and land administration generally. Participation also provides the opportunity to keep up to date with international developments and trends in land administration, including the delivery of services to customers in a more effective manner. Dialogue and communication with relevant international bodies also provides an important platform for sharing ideas and understanding progress achieved both within the EU and the wider international community.

European Land Information Services (EULIS)The development of world class ICT systems in recent years has enabled the PRA to participate in international developments such as EULIS. EULIS is an initiative by various land registration authorities across Europe to provide cross-border access to their respective online databases and electronic services (www.eulis.eu).

The EULIS service provides land registry professional customers such as banks, other lenders, solicitors, estate agents, law searchers and public authorities with reliable, direct and easy access to land and property information in member European countries. Irish customers can access EULIS through their landdirect.ie account.

In 2015, the EU Commission further advanced its Land Registers Interconnection Project, the aim of which is to provide a single portal whereby Land Registry information from all member states may be accessed. The progress achieved and lessons learned by EULIS will play a role in the development of this portal.

7Following a successful application for funding to the European Commission under the latter’s Civil Justice programme, the EULIS 2.0 portal has been implemented and this has provided the key interfaces required for compliance and collaboration the with eJustice portal developments.

European Land Registry Association (ELRA)The primary aim of the ELRA is the development and understanding of the role of land registration in real property and capital markets in EU member states. ELRA seeks to promote the mutual knowledge of the different land registry systems in member states and provides a very useful forum for discussion and information exchange on developments in land registry systems across Europe. It also has a significant role in keeping members informed on relevant developments at EU level.

Since its creation in 2004, ELRA has grown rapidly, and currently its membership is made up of 24 associations representing the land registries of 20 EU member states.

During 2015, ELRA was primarily focussed on the development of the Interoperability Model for Land Registers through its IMOLA Project. The project aims to produce a model for standardised land registry output, connected to explanatory material in different languages, and to provide training to improve understanding of the different legal systems involved.

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) - Working Party on Land Administration (WPLA)The UNECE’s Working Party on Land Administration, which is based in Geneva, was established in 1999 with the aim of promoting land administration through security of tenure, developing real estate markets and modernising land registration systems in countries in transition.

The WPLA has developed into an effective network of land administration officials in Europe and North America. It operates by sending independent experts to the ECE countries to render policy advice and recommendations on national programmes on land market development and real estate registration.

The Property Registration Authority are currently represented on the Bureau (steering group) of WPLA.

INSPIREThe INSPIRE Directive of the European Parliament which seeks to establish an ‘Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community’ (INSPIRE) was transposed into Irish law through Statutory Instrument No. 382 of 2010. This directive aims to create an EU-wide Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) based on member states SDIs which can enable the sharing of environmental spatial

7information among public sector organisations, improved environmental policy making and better public access to spatial information across Europe.

The Land Registry is the Legally Mandated Organisation (LMO) in Ireland for the Annex 1 Cadastral Parcels Theme and as such is obliged to provide discovery, view and ultimately download services through INSPIRE and Irish Spatial Data Infrastructure (ISDI) geo-portals. Cadastral Parcels are lands that are registered in the Land Registry excluding multi-storey registrations.

The new ISDI/INSPIRE compliant GeoPortal.ie, Ireland’s portal for Geographic Information, was launched in June 2013. This portal was developed by the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government (DECLG) and Ordnance Survey Ireland as part of the Irish Spatial Data Infrastructure (ISDI) project, in order to facilitate the online sharing of spatial data according to the requirements of the Irish eGovernment Strategy and the EU INSPIRE directive.

The PRA played a pivotal role in the development and testing of GeoPortal.ie prior to its launch. The PRA provides Land Registry freehold and leasehold cadastral parcel data on a bi-annual basis to the DECLG who are responsible for uploading the data to GeoPortal.ie.

The PRA has continued to supply the DECLG with land parcel data for reference purposes and is viewable through their MyPlan geo-portal. The aim of MyPlan.ie is to create a one stop shop for information about development plans and to provide as much information as possible that may be relevant to planning decision-making (census, heritage sites, patterns of housing development, etc).

The Five Registries NetworkFor a number of years meetings have taken place on a biannual basis between representatives of the land registration bodies for England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the PRA to discuss and explore a range of matters of mutual interest. The Isle of Man has recently joined the Network. Since its establishment, a number of sub-groups have been formed to consult and report on a variety of topics including, business trends and activity levels, electronic conveyancing/registration, benchmarking, electronic funds transfers, security of systems and other developments.

External ScrutinyA number of additional mechanisms to verify and quality assure the activities and services of the PRA are in place. These include:

Parliamentary Questions228 enquiries were received from members of the Oireachtas and dealt with via e-mail during 2015

Office of the Ombudsman7 letters were received from the Ombudsman’s Office relating to complaints in 2015. All cases were resolved by end of 2015.


Fees Fees received by the Property Registration Authority amounted to €57.35m in 2015 as against €47.1m in 2014. This was an increase of €10.25m or 22% over 2014 receipts.

All fees collected by the PRA are remitted to the Exchequer on an ongoing basis. On that basis therefore, in excess of €57m was remitted directly to the Exchequer by the Property Registration Authority in 2015.

The following represents a 10 year summary of fees received by the PRA. As expected, the fees collected vary in accordance with the level of transactions in the property market in any given year.

Net ExpenditureThe PRA, in carrying out its mandate, is directly funded by the Exchequer in the form of an annual allocation of Voted Expenditure.

Actual expenditure from the PRA Vote for 2015 amounted to €28.8m, a similar level to that of 2014. It is worthy of note that since 2008 net expenditure has reduced by 38% (2008 net expenditure €46.2m).

Of the total net sum expended of €28.8m, net Staff costs amounted to €22m; this represented 76% of all expenditure.

Total net Current Expenditure for 2015 amounted to €28.4m as against €28.2m for 2014 (an increase of €0.2m).

Capital Expenditure for 2015 amounted to €0.4m, a decrease of some €0.2m on capital expenditure in 2014.

Apportioned CostsIn addition to costs directly incurred by the PRA, other costs, incurred by other Departments and offices, must be considered in order to present an overall picture of the cost of managing the PRA.

When the following apportioned costs are included:

◯ €3.9 m under Vote 7 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances

◯ €.0.7m under Vote 10 - Office of Public Works

◯ €0.16m under Votes 18 and 24 - Shared Services

◯ €2.75m notional rents on State-owned properties

Therefore, inclusive of apportioned costs borne elsewhere, the total expenditure in 2015 increased to €36.3m (2014 €36.1m).

Prompt Payment of Accounts Act 1997It is the policy of the Property Registration Authority to fully comply with the terms of the Prompt Payments of Accounts Act 1997. The PRA has procedures in place to ensure that all invoices are paid within the statutory time limit. While the procedures have been designed to ensure compliance with the Act, they only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material non-compliance with the Act.

In 2015 in total five invoices incurred late payment penalties. The value of all invoices that were paid late amounted to €1,746. The total interest paid during 2015 resulting from late payments amounted to €214.

2 An túdarás Clárúcháin Maoine Tuarascáil Bhliantúil 2015

Bunaíodh an tÚdarás Clárúcháin Maoine (ÚCM) an 4 Samhain 2006. Is é príomhchion tairbhe ÚCM do gheilleagar na hÉireann clár teidil ar thalamh agus ráthaíocht sláine a sholáthar dóibh siúd a bhíonn ag déileáil le réadmhaoin.

Táimid sa riocht anois go bhfuil níos mó ná 95% den mhórchríoch iomlán, a chuimsíonn beagnach 88% de na teidil in Éirinn, cláraithe i gClárlann na Talún. Tá an córas atá ann le gníomhais a chlárú, i dtaobh na teidil atá fágtha, córas atá á fheidhmiú ag Clárlann na nGníomhas ag laghdú de réir a chéile, cé go bhfuil sé fós ag feidhmiú go héifeachtach, agus i ndeireadh thiar is staraithe agus gineolaithe is mó a chuirfidh spéis ann.

Is í slándáil teidil bunchloch na seirbhíse a sholáthraíonn ÚCM agus soláthraíonn na córais “Clárú Teidil” agus “Clár na nGníomhas”, mar atá cur síos orthu thuas, taifead cuimsitheach i dteannta a chéile ar idirbhearta réadmhaoine.

I ndiaidh achtachán an Achta um Chlárú Gníomhas agus Teidil, 2006, tá an dá chóras faoi rialú an Údaráis Clárúcháin Maoine. Tá cuspóir straitéiseach ag an Údarás chun an clár a chríochnú as a dtiocfadh córas amháin do chlárú teideal a thacóidh le beartais an Rialtais ar riaradh talún, lena n-áirítear clárú leictreonach, tíolacadh leictreonach agus Infreastruchtúr Sonraí Spásúlachta na hÉireann atá ag teacht chun cinn.

Is iad príomhfheidhmeanna ÚCM ná:

1. Córas clárúcháin Teideal agus Gníomhas a sholáthar agus a choimeád de réir na reachtaíochta iomchuí

2. Clárú úinéireachta talún a chur chun cinn agus a fhairsingiú

3. Déileáil le hiarratais faoi Chuid 3 den Acht um Thiarnaí Talún agus Tionóntaí (Bunchíosanna) (Uimh. 2), 1978.

4. An tAire Dlí agus Cirt agus Comhionannais a choimeád ar an eolas ar dhul chun cinn maidir le clárú úinéireacht talún agus cabhrú leis nó léi beartas a fhorbairt i dtaobh a leithéid de chlárúchán.

5. Seirbhísí faisnéise agus deimhniúcháin iontaofa agus cuimsitheach a sholáthar

6. Inmharthanacht airgeadais a choimeád.

Ról an Údarás Clárúcháin Maoine


Is é Misean an Údaráis Clárúcháin Maoine ná:

Creatlach dlíthiúil, sochaíoch agus geilleagrach úinéireacht réadmhaoine in Éirinn a chur chun cinn agus a chosaint

Bainfear é seo amach le córas cuimsitheach agus iontaofa clárúcháin teidil a choimeád agus a fhairsingiú, a dhaingníonn cearta réadmhaoine agus a éascaíonn idirbhearta réadmhaoine.

Déanann ÚCM a ghnó de réir na luachanna seo a leanas:

Seirbhís dár gCustaiméirí Tá rún daingean ag ÚCM seirbhís den scoth a sholáthar dá chustaiméirí a bhfuil rochtain éasca uirthi trí bhealaí éagsúla.

Leas an PhobailComhlíonann ÚCM a fheidhmeanna chun leasa an phobail ar bhealach oscailte agus trédhearcach

Tiomantas don FhoireannIs mór ag ÚCM é díograis a fhoirne agus déanann ÚCM iarracht tacú léi chun seirbhís ar ardchaighdeán a sholáthar dá chustaiméirí agus chun gairmeacha a bhfuil sásamh iontu a fhorbairt laistigh den eagraíocht.

Rialachas agus luach ar airgead Tá ÚCM tiomanta déanamh de réir dea-rialachais agus ionracais, agus a ghnó a dhéanamh ar bhealach cost-éifeachtúil

ComhairliúchánBíonn ÚCM gníomhach i mbun comhairliúcháin lena pháirtithe leasmhara ar fhorbairt leanúnach agus ar sholáthar leanúnach a sheirbhísí.

Réamhfhocal le Cathaoirleach an Údaráis Clárúcháin Maoine


“ Tháinig méadú suntasach ar an leibhéal deimhnithe deonaigh i gcéad chlárú éigeantach in 2015. Bhí teidil deimhnithe cothrom le 73% de chéad iarratais ar chlárúchán i gcomparáid le 68% in 2014. Bhí sé sin amhlaidh mar gheall ar thosca éagsúla lena n-áirítear chomh maith is a d’éirigh lenár gclár “for-rochtana”, ag baint leasa as saineolas na foirne gairmiúla I gClárlann na Talún, le tacaíocht ó fhaisnéis chuimsitheach ar line … ”


Thar ceann an Údaráis Clárúcháin Maoine tá ríméad orm ár dTuarascáil Bhliantúil le haghaidh 2015 a chur i láthair agus a rá go bhfuiltear ag leanúint den dul chun cinn cobhsaí i ngach réimse.

I rith 2015 lean an PRA ag cur straitéisí agus cuspóirí an Phlean Straitéisigh le haghaidh 2013-2015 i bhfeidhm agus tá cuntais agus anailís mhionsonraithe sa Tuarascáil faoi na ceannteidil éagsúla sa Phlean.

Foilsíodh an Plean Straitéiseach nua le haghaidh an PRA don tréimhse 2016 – 2018 i mí na Nollag 2015. Leanann an plean sin ag tógáil ar an méid a baineadh amach i bPleananna Straitéiseacha roimhe seo agus tugtar cuntas ann ar mar a dhíreoidh an tÚdarás ar a fhreagrachtaí reachtúla a chomhlíonadh agus ar bheartais agus tionscnaimh an Rialtais a chur i bhfeidhm sna trí bliana seo romhainn.

Tá luathú agus cur i gcrích Chlár Talún na hÉireann fós mar phríomh-sainchúram reachtúil ar an PRA. Tháinig méadú suntasach ar an leibhéal deimhnithe deonaigh i gcéad chlárú éigeantach in 2015. Bhí teidil deimhnithe cothrom le 73% de chéad iarratais ar chlárúchán i gcomparáid le 68% in 2014. Bhí sé sin amhlaidh mar gheall ar thosca éagsúla lena n-áirítear chomh maith is a d’éirigh lenár gclár “for-rochtana”, ag baint leasa as saineolas na foirne gairmiúla i gClárlann na Talún, le tacaíocht ó fhaisnéis chuimsitheach ar líne, mar aon leis an gcéad táille clárúcháin níos ísle atá infheidhme maidir le teidil deimhnithe ó mhí na Nollag 2012. Chuidigh an úsáid a baineadh as foireann Seirbhísí Dlí fheabhsaithe chun tacú le próiseáil na n-iarratas rud lenar theastaigh scrúdú iomlán a dhéanamh ar theideal.

Táthar i mbun machnaimh i gcónaí ar idirbhearta maidir le Céad Chlárú a shíneadh, seachas díolacháin agus léasanna.

I gcomhthéacs leanúint de sheirbhís éifeachtúil agus éifeachtach a sholáthar dár gcustaiméirí, d’éirigh le Clárlann na Talún, in ainneoin laghdú 2.73% eile ar líon na foirne in 2015, an riaráiste cásanna idir lámha a laghdú agus tá obair ag leanúint chun an riaráiste a laghdú tuilleadh. Baineadh méadú 40% amach san éileamh ar shonraí spásúlachta agus ar shonraí gaolmhara i rith 2015 le hais 2014, agus 275 iarratas ar an iomlán i gceist. Baineadh méadú den chineál céanna amach i gcúraimí eastósctha sonraí a rinneadh thar ceann Ranna Rialtais, Gníomhaireachtaí Stáit agus Údaráis Áitiúla. Baineadh méadú suntasach amach i gcúraimí eastósctha den chineál céanna le haghaidh na hearnála príobháidí, go leor ag teacht ó chleachtóirí suirbhéireachta / innealtóireachta atá ag gabháil do thograí mórscála thar ceann Údarás Áitiúil.

In 2015 bhí an leibhéal úsáide a bhain sealbhóirí cuntais ghnó agus sealbhóirí

nach bhfuil cuntas acu trí landdirect.ie as ár seirbhísí ar líne cothrom le 5.2 milliún ar an iomlán, méadú 2.2 milliún idirbheart le hais 2014.

Chuir an tÚdarás a chuid freagrachtaí maidir le Rialachas Corparáideach i bhfeidhm trí obair an Choiste Iniúchta, an Aonaid Iniúchta Inmheánaigh, bainistiú an Chláir Rioscaí, treoirlínte Cosanta Sonraí agus chreat nósanna imeachta maidir le Soláthar.

Rinneadh dul chun cinn mór i rith 2015 maidir le Cumasc PRA, OSi agus VO. Tá Aistriú na nOrduithe Feidhmeanna chun bogadh na hOifige Luachála agus OSi a údarú faoi shainchúram an Aire Dlí agus Cirt agus Comhionannais faofa ag an Rialtas. Bhí éifeacht leis an aistriú an 1 Eanáir 2016. Tá obair ag leanúint chun Samhail Sonraí Corparáideacha a fhorbairt le haghaidh Tailte Éireann ina gcumhdaítear na príomhshonraí oibríochta i ngach ceann de na trí eagraíocht.

Tá dul chun cinn á dhéanamh ar thionscadal chun córais guth-theileafónaíochta le haghaidh na heagraíochta cumaiscthe a chomhdhlúthú – cuireadh é sin i bhfeidhm san Oifig Luachála agus tá obair ag leanúint chun OSi a chomhtháthú. Tá obair ag dul ar aghaidh chun branda a aimsiú le haghaidh na heagraíochta nua – tá an suíomh gréasáin www.tailte.ie beo anois agus táthar ag obair chun Inlíon foirne a fhorbairt. Táthar ag súil go mbeidh Tailte Éireann bunaithe le reachtaíocht sula i bhfad.

I réimse an Airgeadais, luaitear sa Tuarascáil gur íocadh €57.35 milliún go díreach leis an Státchiste i bhfoirm táillí arna mbailiú ag PRA, méadú de €10.25 milliún ar 2014. Ba ionann caiteachas agus €28.8 milliún, cosúil le 2014.

Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghlacadh le mo chomhghleacaithe san Údarás as a gcuid tacaíochta agus saineolais ar feadh na bliana agus tréaslú leis an mBainistíocht agus leis an bhFoireann as an obair chrua a rinne siad agus as a dtiomantas. Ba mhaith liom an deis a thapú freisin chun buíochas speisialta a ghabháil le ball den Údarás Frank Brannigan ar tháinig deireadh lena théarma oifige i rith na bliana.

Táim ag tnúth le bheith ag obair le gach duine lena mbaineann arís in 2016.

Dul chun cinn i dtaobh na cuspóirí atá leagtha amach sa Phlean Straitéiseach 2013-2015

Ár gCuspóirí


Críochnú Chlár Talún na hÉireann a chur chun cinn trí chur le Céadchlárú Éigeantach (CFR) agus stad a chur le fás na dteideal neamhchláraithe.

Lean ÚCM leis na straitéisí agus na roghanna atá ar fáil dó maidir le cur le clárú éigeantach ar úinéireacht talún, a chur chun cinn go gníomhach. Is sainordú sainráite ag ÚCM an clár seo a chríochnú. Táthar ag leanúint le tionscnaimh a bhí ann roimhe seo agus ag tógáil orthu.

Tháinig méadú ar dheimhniú deonach i réimsí na gcéad chlárúcháin éigeantaigh le linn 2015. Sheas teidil dheimhnithe do 73% d’iarratais chéad chlárú a fuarthas in 2015 i gcomparáid le 68% in 2014. Bhí sé seo mar gheall ar an rath atá ar an gclár “for-rochtain” ina n-úsáidtear saineolas fhoireann ghairmiúil Chlárlann na Talún, mar aon le faisnéis chuimsitheach ar líne chomh maith leis an táille níos ísle ar chéad chlárú a bhaineann le teidil dheimhnithe ó Nollaig 2012.

Tá na Seirbhísí Dlí arb é a bhfuil iontu ná foireann ó gach leibhéal ó Oifigeach Cléireachais suas agus Scrúdaitheoir nó Príomh-Scrúdaitheoir na dTeideal i gceannas orthu, ag tacú le próiseáil iarratas a éilíonn scrúdú iomlán ar theideal.

Táthar fós á chur san áireamh síneadh a chur le “truicir” do chéad chlárú chuig idirbhearta nach díolacháin agus léasanna iad.

Léiríonn breithniú tosaigh go soláthródh rith na reachtaíochta do chumasc an Údaráis, Shuirbhéireacht Ordanáis Éireann agus na hOifige Luachála bunús reachtúil cuí do Thailte Éireann, ar a thoil féin in imthosca oiriúnacha, teidil a aistriú ón gcóras clárúcháin gníomhais i gClárlann na nGníomhas go dtí an córas clárúcháin i gClárlann na Talún.

Ár gCuspóirí


Iontaofacht agus cruinneas an Chláir a chinntiú trí chleachtais éifeachtacha clárúcháin agus trí chórais agus struchtúir dhiana dearbhaithe cáilíochta agus phróiseas.

Achtacháin Reachtúla

ReachtaíochtIn 2015, ní raibh aon reachtaíocht phríomha ann ag leasú go díreach na nAchtanna um Chlárú Gníomhas agus Teidil, 1964 agus 2006.

Cuireadh tús leis an gcuid is mó d'Acht na gCuideachtaí, 2014 (Uimh. 38 de 2014) an 1 Meitheamh 2015 leis an Ordú um Acht na gCuideachtaí, 2014 (Tosach Feidhme), 2015 (I.R. Uimh. 169 de 2015). Bhí roinnt leasuithe ann dá bharr ar ár dtreoracha cleachtais agus beidh tuilleadh athruithe de dhíth

Treoracha Cleachtais Nua agus Athbhreithnithe in 2015Seachas athruithe agus nuashonruithe riaracháin bheaga, ní raibh athruithe substainteacha ar bith déanta do na Treoracha Cleachtais le linn 2015.

Fógraí na hOifige DlíthiúlaFoilsíodh san iomlán 2 Fhógra nua d'Fhógra na hOifige Dlíthiúla ar shuíomh gréasáin ÚCM www.prai in 2015 agus nuashonraíodh ceann reatha d'Fhógraí na hOifige Dlíthiúla.

Seirbhísí Faisnéise SpásúlachtaTá clár for-rochtain earnáil phoiblí ÚCM chun feasacht ar luach sonraí spásúlachta a ardú ar siúl, agus an tAonad Sonraí Spásúlachta ag lean air le próisis a fhorbairt chun seachadadh sonraí spásúlachta d’eagraíochtaí na hearnála poiblí agus na hearnála príobháidí araon a éascú. Leanann éileamh ar shonraí spásúlachta Chlárlann na Talún agus sonraí lena mbaineann ar aghaidh ag dul i dtreis le 275 iarratas ar shonraí faighte le linn 2015. Seasann sé seo do mhéadú 40% i gcomparáid le 2014. Ba chustaiméirí an athuair iad cuid mhaith do na hiarrthóirí, inar úsáideadh an chuid is mó de na 'Cuardaigh Bealaí’ agus ‘Cuardaigh Limistéir' chun tionscadail Infreastruchtúir státmhaoinithe a éascú.

Ina dhiaidh sin féin, tá méadú suntasach ann i dtascanna sonraí a asbhaint atá á ndéanamh thar ceann na hearnála príobháidí ina dtagann an-chuid iarratais ó chleachtóirí suirbhéireachta/innealtóireachta atá i mbun tionscadail ar scála mór thar ceann na nÚdarás Áitiúil. Tá fianaise ann chomh maith a thugann le fios go bhfuil méadú ann i leibhéal na gníomhaíochta a bhaineann le comhlachtaí atá baint

Bhí méadú suntasach ann in 2015 ar an éileamh go ndéanfaidh Aonad Faisnéise Spásúlachta ÚCM bainistiú ar chomhaid léarscáile leictreonaí a thaisceadh. Is iad na comhaid seo i bhformáid CAD atá ag teacht chun cinn mar an rogha is fearr le roinnt Suirbhéirí/Innealtóirí agus léarscáileanna iarratais á dtaisceadh acu chun clárú a éascú. Láimhseáil SIU 406 iarratas den chineál sin le linn 2015.

Rinne an tAonad Faisnéise Spásúlachta tuarascálacha staidrimh chomh maith i gcomhair bhainistíocht ÚCM. Úsáideadh tuarascálacha den chineál sin chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar chineálacha clárúcháin agus chun teasléaráidí déine a chruthú. Taispeánann infheistíocht a rinne ÚCM chun an tAonad Faisnéise Spásúlachta a fhorbairt, a éascaíonn bainistíocht sonraí spásúlachta atá breisithe, sárchúiteamh ó thaobh sábháil airgid agus dul chun cinn éifeachtúlacht i gcomhair an Stáit agus an tSaoránaigh.

RíomhchlárúchánTá an PRA ag obair i gcónaí ar fhorchéimniú tionscnamh ríomhchlárúcháin, a bheidh ríthábhachtach d’aon chóras tíolactha a dhéanfar ar líne in Éirinn amach anseo. Ó 2009 i leith chuir an PRA dhá sheirbhís ríomhchlárúcháin ar fáil, ríomh-Urscaoileadh agus Ríomhorduithe Muirir, agus d’éirigh leo sin éifeachtúlachtaí móra a sholáthar do gach páirtí a bhí rannpháirteach. Leathnaíodh seirbhísí ríomhchlárúcháin in 2013 ionas go mbeifí in ann malartú slán a dhéanamh ar ghníomhais aistrithe, ar íocaíocht leictreonach táillí agus ar fhógraí leictreonacha. Tá na gníomhais dréachtaithe ar an gcóras Ríomhchlárúcháin, rud lena bhfuiltear in ann faisnéis a tharraingt díreach ón gClár Talún agus rud a chruthaíonn dá bharr sin éifeachtúlachtaí agus comhsheasmhacht sna doiciméid. Tá sé i gceist an fheidhmiúlacht a leathnú chuig Gníomhais Mhuirir agus cuirfear treoirscéim ar bun sa chéad leath de 2016.

Ár gCuspóirí


Chomh maith leis sin, chuir grúpa oibre, ina gcuimsítear ainmnithe ón gCumann Dlí, Cónaidhm Baincéireachta agus Íocaíochtaí na hÉireann agus an PRA, tuarascáil i gcrích maidir leis an gcóras a bhaineann le hIontrálacha Tosaíochta a chlárú go leictreonach (saoráid chun tosaíocht leasa dlíthiúil ar réadmhaoin a chosaint) agus leanfar ag obair air sin in 2016. Tá roinnt seirbhísí gréasáin ar fáil freisin a thugann deis d’fhorbróirí chórais bainistíochta cásanna comhéadain a fhorbairt ó na córais sin le córais an PRA.

Dearbhú Próiseas/CáilíochtaMeasann ÚCM go bhfuil dearbhú próiseas agus dearbhú cáilíochta ina ngnéithe ríthábhachtacha den phróiseas clárúcháin lena chinntiú gur féidir lenár gcustaiméirí a bheith cinnte go ndéanfar an táirge a sholáthar agus go léiríonn na nósanna imeachta agus na próisis atá i bhfeidhm an méid atá ann inár nAchtanna, inár Rialacha agus inár dTreoracha Cleachtais. Tá sé sin ceaptha freisin chun tacú le rialachas foriomlán corparáideach agus le dea-cháil ÚCM agus lena bhfeabhsú, cuireann ÚCM Ráthaíocht Stáit ar fáil.

Áirítear ar fheidhmeanna an Aonaid Dearbhaithe Próiseas cigireacht a dhéanamh ar shamplaí éagsúla cásoibre a roghnófar go randamach lena chinntiú go bhfuil ár gcleachtais agus ár nósanna imeachta á gcomhlíonadh. Scrúdaíonn/athbhreithníonn an Grúpa gach gné den phróiseas clárúcháin freisin. Seoltar na torthaí chuig lucht na hArdbhainistíochta agus ceartaítear rudaí de réir mar is cuí.

Tá an tAonad um Dhearbhú Cáilíochta freagrach as an gClár a cheartú; aithnítear ceartúcháin go hinmheánach agus go seachtrach ar aon. Cuimsíonn sé sin réimse foirne atá gafa le cothabháil léarscáile cuí, sláine sonraí agus caighdeán ar an iomlán agus cruinneas clárúchán a athbhreithniú ar an gClár Fóilió agus ar Léarscáil Chlárlann na Talún.

Nuair a aithnítear saincheisteanna sa chlárúchán, is é polasaí ÚCM dul i dteagmháil lenár gcustaiméirí a luaithe agus is féidir chun na sonraí atá ar an gClár a cheartú.

Baintear úsáid as an anailís ar dhearbhú cáilíochta chun cláir oiliúna agus tionscnaimh oiliúna a fhorbairt agus a fheabhsú a laghdóidh an seans de chlárúcháin chontráilte agus an baol atá ann don Chlár.

Seirbhís den scoth a chothabháil agus síneadh leanúnach a dhéanamh ar na seirbhísí atá ar fáil do chustaiméirí Chlárlann na Talún agus Chlárlann na nGníomhas.3Clárú TalúnClárúIs éard a tharlaíonn de ghnáth thar réimse clárú talún ar fud an domhain ná go ndéantar an leibhéal gníomhaíochta bliantúla a thomhas trí thagairt a dhéanamh do líon na n-athruithe ar an gclár. Féadfaidh roinnt idirbheart comhuaineach a bheith in iarratas dá bharr sin féadfaidh go leor athruithe éagsúla a bheith déanta ar an gclár; mar shampla, féadfaidh aistriú úinéireachta, muirear nua agus roinnt athruithe a bheith ann de bharr cealú muirear atá ann cheana féin a bheith i gceist in iarratas.

Líon na n-athruithe ar an gclár talún: 424,425.

Obair ar láimhLean Clárlann na Talún ar aghaidh ag obair chun cásanna a imréiteach i gcaitheamh na bliana. Baineadh amach an laghdú i líon na gcásanna ar láimh trí bharrfheabhsú a dhéanamh ar chleachtais oibre agus trí leas a bhaint as cur chuige spriocdhírithe maidir le tosaíocht a thabhairt do chásobair.

Chomh maith leis an gclár imréiteach cásoibre, tá dul chun cinn suntasach déanta i ndáil le laghdú ‘agaí comhlánaithe’– féach Spriocanna Seachadta Seirbhíse thíos.

Is rud an-tábhachtach é comhoibriú leanúnach foirne an Údaráis sna leibhéil táirgiúlachta atá bainte amach.

3Deimhniúchán agus CuardachMar chuid de sheachadadh a sheirbhísí leictreonacha, d'fhorbair ÚCM sraith seirbhísí nuálacha faisnéise ar líne agus seirbhísí clárúcháin. Tá siad seo le fáil trí sheirbhísí landdirect.ie agus seirbhísí eRegistration.ie.

Le linn 2015, próiseáladh níos mó ná 5 milliún idirbhearta cuardaithe agus deimhniúcháin tríd an tairseach landdirect.ie.

Clárú Gníomhas Ba é líon na n-iarratas a cuireadh isteach chuig Clárlann na nGníomhas le linn 2015 ná 32,562, méadú 27% ar 2014.

Ba iad líon na n-iarratas cláraithe i gClárlann na nGníomhas le linn 2015 ná 32,334 sin méadú 31% ar fhigiúir 2014. Bhí riaráiste cásoibre de 5-15 lá oibre i gClárlann na nGníomhas. Bhí an riaráiste seo mar gheall ar ghanntanas foirne chomh maith le méadú i dtaobh Iontógála.

Iarratais ar BhunchíosannaReáchtálann an tÚdarás Clárúcháin Maoine an Scéim um Cheannach Bunchíosanna faoin Acht um Thiarnaí Talún agus Tionóntaí (Bunchíosanna) (Uimh. 2), 1978 trínar féidir le húinéirí réadmhaoine léasaí a mbunchíos a cheannach (leas ruílse). Cuireadh tús leis an scéim seo i 1978.

In 2015, tháinig méadú 25.6% ar iontógáil iarratais chomhthola (422 i gcomparáid le 336), agus ba é 404 an t-aschur a bhí ann i gcomparáid le 203 an t-aschur a bhí ann in 2014, a sheasann do mhéadú 99%. I mbliana, bhí laghdú 19.2% ann in iontógáil iarratais eadrána ó 396 go 472 agus tháinig méadú ar aschur de 36.8% ó 296 go 368.

Léirítear sonraí na gníomhaíochta in 2015 agus na figiúirí comparáideacha i gcomhair 2013 agus 2014 sa tábla ag Aguisín 5.

Aonad Faisnéise do ChustaiméiríIs é an tAonad Faisnéise an chéad phointe teagmhála do Chustaiméirí a dhéanann teagmháil leis an oifig ar an teileafón. Tá oiliúint curtha ar an bhfoireann san Aonad, chun seirbhís shofhreagrach, dhíreach a sholáthar, a mhéid agus is féidir, dár gcustaiméirí a bhfuil ceisteanna acu sa chaoi nach gá na glaonna a aistriú chuig ball foirne eile de chuid ÚCM. Ar ndóigh, caithfear roinnt ceisteanna a d’fhéadfadh a bheith níos casta nó a bhainfeadh go sonrach le cás faoi leith a aistriú chuig baill foirne eile a bhfuil scileanna níos speisialaithe acu nó taithí acu ar chásobair ar leith, ach déileálann an tAonad Faisnéise go díreach le breis is 75% de na glaonna. Bíonn an tAonad Faisnéise i mbun gnó idir 9r.n. agus 5i.n.

Grúpa Fócais CustaiméaraBhuail an fóram seo le chéile dhá uair sa bhliain 2015. Cuireann cruinnithe an ghrúpa seo, atá ionadaíoch do phríomhpháirtithe leasmhara ÚCM (cleachtóirí dlíthiúla, institiúidí airgeadais, údaráis áitiúla, cuardaitheoirí dlí), deis leanúnach ar fáil le dul i mbun comhairliúcháin ar réimse ceisteanna agus chun faisnéis a scaipeadh faoi athruithe atá beartaithe nó athruithe atá á dtabhairt isteach.

Clár For-rochtana Le blianta beaga anuas tá fás ag teacht ar an méid obair atá á dhéanamh ag foireann ÚCM i dtaobh seimineár, comhdhálacha agus cúrsaí oiliúna a eagrú do ghrúpaí tábhachtacha i measc na bpáirtithe leasmhara. Ghlac oifigigh ÚCM páirt i léirithe nó chuir siad i láthair iad, ar réimse ábhar ag seimineáir agus ag cúrsaí éagsúla oiliúna d’aturnaetha agus do chustaiméirí eile le linn 2015. Is féidir sonraí a fháil fúthu in Aguisín 10.

Cuairteoirí chuig ÚCMÓ chríochnú Tionscadal Léarscáilithe Dhigitigh ÚCM agus ríomhairiúchán Fóilió ÚCM, bhí go leor luchtanna riaracháin Clárúcháin Talún ó mhórthimpeall an domhain fiosrach faoin mbealach a raibh an t-aistriú seo pleanáilte, bainistithe agus faoin mbealach ar éirigh leis é a chur i bhfeidhm. I dtaca leis seo, ní haon eisceacht é 2015 agus d’óstáil ÚCM toscaireachtaí ó Oileáin Cayman, an Ghearmáin, Albain, agus an Chóiré Theas.

Rinne foireann ÚCM, i gcomhpháirt le foireann ón Roinn Comhshaoil, Pobail agus Rialtais Áitiúil sraith ceardlann a éascú chomh maith sna hoifigí atá i mBaile Átha Cliath, Ros Comáin agus Port Láirge chun cóitseáil Údarás Áitiúil a éascú maidir le haistriú acmhainní uisce chuig Uisce Éireann. Tá ÚCM sásta i gcónaí buaileadh le cleachtóirí ó dhlínsí eile agus taithí ár scéal ratha a roinnt. Gach bliain, cuireann ÚCM le cumas mic léinn Geomaitice ó Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Átha Cliath, Sráid Bolton trí chur i láthair a thabhairt ar na gnéithe ar

An tSeachtain Oidhreachta NáisiúntaGhlac Clárlann na nGníomhas páirt i Seachtain Oidhreachta Náisiúnta arís in 2015. Eagraíodh 10 dturas san iomlán sa tseachtain roimh an tseachtain dheiridh de Lúnasa 2015.

Cuireadh tús leis an turas trí chuntas gearr a thabhairt ar an stair a bhain leis an bhfoirgneamh álainn a dhear Gandon, agus díríodh ar chuid de na gnéithe ar leith a bhaineann leis.

Tugadh achoimre ar an bpróiseas clárúcháin chomh maith agus bhí bailiúchán cáipéisí de chuid Chlárlann na nGníomhas ar taispeáint a bhfuil tábhacht stairiúil ag baint leo. Áiríodh sa turas freisin léiriú ar thaifid atá inspéise ó thaobh ginealais de, ó na seantaifid ársa go ríomhairiú an lae inniu. Bhí an-ghlacadh ar na turais go léir agus tá sé ar intinn ag an gClárlann a bheith rannpháirteach arís in 2015.

Taispeántas ag imeachtaíIn 2015, bhí lúcháir ar ÚCM páirt a ghlacadh, i gcomhar lenár bpáirtithe cumaisc, an Oifig Luachála agus OSi, i gcomhthaispeántas ag an gComórtas Náisiúnta Treabhdóireachta a reáchtáladh i Rath an Uisce, Co. Laois arís.

Ba é feidhm an taispeántais ná sárthaispeántas a thabhairt ar ár seirbhísí ar líne agus eolas a sholáthar don phobal maidir le cumasc ár dtrí eagraíocht. Bhí an t-aiseolas a fuarthas an-dearfach ar fad agus leanfaimid orainn a bheith ag comhoibriú ag imeachtaí amach anseo.

Ghlac ÚCM páirt chomh maith, den chéad uair, in Ideal Home Show, san RDS i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2015. Bhí an-spéis inár seastán ann, agus bhí aiseolas an-dearfach arís ann. Táimid ag súil le freastal ar an imeacht seo arís in 2016.

InrochtaineachtDéanann ÚCM gach iarracht áiseanna agus seirbhísí a sholáthar atá inrochtana ag a chustaiméirí go léir. Cuirtear sonraí teagmhála i gcomhair Oifigigh Rochtana ar ár suíomh gréasáin chun gur féidir duine ar bith atá faoi mhíchumas leas a bhaint as cúnamh maidir le rochtain a fháil ar ár seirbhísí nó freastal ar ár n-oifigí.

Seirbhís trí Ghaeilge Cuireadh 5 iarratas ar chlárú trí mheán na Gaeilge i gcríoch in 2015.

Nós Imeachta GearáinFuarthas 6 ghearán fhoirmiúla le linn 2015 agus déileáladh leo faoi Nós Imeachta Gearáin ÚCM.

Ár gCuspóirí


Éifeachtúlacht a fheabhsú trí acmhainní cuí daonna, bainistíochta, airgeadais agus teicniúla a fhorbairt agus a choimeád.

Ár nDaoineAg deireadh 2015 bhí 533 fhostaí arbh ionann is 486.76 coibhéis lánaimseartha (FTE) i lucht oibre ÚCM. Seasann sé seo do laghdú 2.73% nó 27 bhfostaí ar 2014 de bharr 3 aistriú dheonacha, 15 scor agus 9 éirí as, lena n-áirítear ocht nOifigeach Cléireachais shealadacha. Seo é miondealú FTEanna thar na láithreacha: Baile Átha Cliath 263.05, Port Láirge 162.11 agus Ros Comáin 61.60.

Cuirfear miondealú inscne ar fáil ag Aguisín 11. Tá 59.66% den fhoireann baineann agus 40.34% den fhoireann fireann. Léiríonn miondealú aoise an lucht oibre go bhfuil beagnach 30% d’fhostaithe níos sine ná 55 bliain d’aois. Is é sprioc an Údaráis Náisiúnta Mhíchumais fostaíocht 3.5% a bheith ann do dhaoine atá faoi mhíchumas san fhoireann iomlán. I gcás ÚCM d’fhógair 6.56% d’fhostaithe go raibh míchumas orthu in 2015.

Ghlac níos mó ná 90% d'fhoireann ÚCM páirt sa Chóras Bainistíochta agus Forbartha Gníomhúcháin (PDMS) i gcaitheamh na bliana.

Comórtais Inmheánacha Ardú Céime Cuireadh an 3ú leagan de phleanáil lucht oibre chuig an Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe i mí Aibreáin agus fuarthas ceadú i ndeireadh mhí Iúil chun bearnaí a bhí ann ó thaobh poist de a líonadh, poist suas go leibhéal Príomhoifigigh, faoi réir bille a íoc. Bhí an deis ann den chéad uair riamh ó thús an chúlú eacnamaíochta in 2008 chun sraith comórtas inmheánach a sheoladh chun bearnaí scileanna agus bearnaí eolais a aithníodh a líonadh. Tá socruithe foirne ilréimsiúla neadaithe laistigh de na hAonaid AD agus de na hAonaid Airgeadais chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar chaiteachas bille a íoc agus bonn taca a chur faoin bpróiseas pleanála lucht oibre.

Chun cur le scileanna na rannpháirtithe, cuireadh oiliúint agallaimh ar bhonn inniúlachta ar fáil do bhaill an bhoird roghnúcháin agus do gach iarrthóir. Beartaíodh cúrsa scileanna agallaimh agus cuireadh é ar fáil go hinmheánach. Reáchtáladh ocht gcomórtas ina bhfuarthas 127 n-iarratas ina dtaobh. Bhí 18 n-ardú céime ann le linn 2015. Ar na gráid lenar bhain bhí Leas-Chláraitheoir, Scrúdaitheoir na dTeideal, Bainisteoir Léarscáilithe Sinsearach, Bainisteoir TFC, Stiúrthóir Léarscáilithe Réigiúnaigh agus Príomhoifigeach Cúnta (Seirbhísí Dlí).

Bainistíocht TinrimhThug AD tosaíocht don bhainistíocht réamhghníomhach ar neamhláithreacht bhreoiteachta agus i dtús 2015 rinne Bainisteoir AD cuir i láthair ar an saincheist i ngach láthair. Ina theannta sin rinneadh dul chun cinn i dtaobh tionscnaimh chuí a réiteach faoi mheabhairshláinte agus shláinte. Baineadh ráta aga dhíomhaoin ní b'ísle 4.11% faoin gcéad amach i gcomhair 2015, ar laghdú aon trian ar fhigiúir 2010 de 6.14% é. Níl sé seo ach díreach faoi mheán na státseirbhíse a thuairiscigh an Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe don bhliain 2015. Tháinig laghdú 25% ar fhíorlíon na bhfostaithe a thóg saoire bhreoiteachta in ÚCM i gcaitheamh na bliana agus tháinig laghdú 41.70% ar chostas foriomlán neamhláithreachta breoiteachta ó 2010 i leith. Tá an t-ardú i dtaobh pá saoire bhreoiteachta ina chúis leis seo go pointe áirithe ó laghdaíodh teorannacha saoire breoiteachta sa státseirbhís in 2014.

Rannpháirtíocht Foirne don Fhóram Athrú Working Together agus ghlac gach páirtí, ina raibh ionadaithe, foirne, ceardchumainn agus bainistíochta ann, le Léiriú Intinne nua. Is é an cuspóir uileghabhálach ná rannpháirtíocht foirne a chothú agus cuir chuige comhoibríocha agus rannpháirtíochta a chur chun cinn i dtaobh réiteach fadhbanna sa ÚCM. Bhí dhá chruinniú ann in 2015 agus cuireadh grúpa oibre ar bun chun suirbhé aeráide nua Foirne a cheapadh.

Forbairt Phearsanta agus Forbairt Ghairmiúil LeanúnachTá trí phríomhthionscanamh oideachasúla i bhfeidhm ag ÚCM chun bainistíocht tallainne agus pleanáil comharbais a fheabhsú. Ar an gcéad dul síos, cuimsítear

aisíocaíocht táillí – i gcás cúrsaí tríú leibhéal féinroghnaithe agus bhain 7 bhfostaí leas as an scéim in 2015. Fuair Carmel O’Shea céim bhaitsiléara i mBainistíocht Gnó (Dlí) ó Scoil Gnó Bhaile Átha Cliath. Ar an dara dul síos, tá scéim urraithe

oideachais dlí ann agus glaodh triúr ball foirne chun an bharra in 2015. Ba iad siúd Isobel Lyons agus Joseph McGranaghan, Oifigigh Feidhmiúcháin iad beirt inár n-oifig i mBaile Átha Cliath agus Liam Lalor, Príomhoifigeach Cúnta inár n-oifig i bPort Láirge. I gcaitheamh na bliana bhí ceathrar foirne sa bhreis ag freastal ar Óstaí an Rí. Ar an tríú dul síos, bhí 24 fhoireann ag staidéar ar chúrsaí

dreasachtaí bunchéime agus iarchéime teicniúla. Le linn 2015 bhain Jennifer Foley MSc amach in Eolaíocht na Faisnéise Geografaí agus bhain Jennifer O’Connor MSc amach in Innealltóireacht Geospásúil ó Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Cuireadh sainoiliúint sa dlí ar fáil de réir mar a bhí ag teastáil ón Aonad Foghlama agus Forbartha agus na hoiliúnóirí áitiúla. Le linn 2015 fuair triúr daoine cáilíochtaí Train the Trainer – Eamon Morris, Colette McNulty agus Declan Power. Chun cur le cumas ceannasaíochta ag leibhéal sinsearach cuireadh tús le clár cóitseála feidhmiúcháin i gcomhair bhaill an Bhoird Bainistíochta.

Tugann rannpháirtíocht deis dúinn freisin coinneáil cothrom le dáta i dtaobh forbairtí agus treochtaí idirnáisiúnta maidir le riaradh talún, lena n-áirítear soláthar seirbhísí do chustaiméirí ar bhealach níos éifeachtúla. Lena chois sin cuireann idirphlé agus caidreamh le comhlachtaí ábhartha idirnáisiúnta fóram tábhachtach ar fáil le smaointe a mhalartú agus tuiscint a fháil ar an dul chun cinn atá déanta sa AE agus sa phobal idirnáisiúnta níos leithne araon.

Seirbhísí Faisnéise Thalún na hEorpa (EULIS)

Tá forbairt córas TFC den chéad scoth le blianta beaga anuas tar éis a chur ar chumas ÚCM a bheith rannpháirteach i bhforbairtí idirnáisiúnta ar nós EULIS. Tionscnamh atá ag údaráis éagsúla clárúcháin talún ar fud na hEorpa is ea EULIS chun rochtain trasteorann ar bhunachair sonraí ar líne agus ar sheirbhísí leictreonacha a chur ar fáil (www.eulis.eu).

Cuireann seirbhís EULIS rochtain éasca, dhíreach agus iontaofa ar fáil ar fhaisnéis maidir le talamh agus maoin i mballtíortha Eorpacha do chustaiméirí gairmiúla chlárlann na talún ar nós bainc, iasachtóirí eile, aturnaetha, gníomhairí eastáit, cuardaitheoirí dlí agus údaráis phoiblí. Féadfaidh custaiméirí na hÉireann rochtain a fháil ar EULIS trína gcuntas landdirect.ie.

7tairseach EULIS 2.0 i bhfeidhm agus cuireadh é sin na príomhchomhéadain atá ag teastáil le haghaidh comhlíonadh agus comhoibriú dhul chun cinn na tairsí Ríomh-cheartais.

Sa bhliain 2015, d'fhorbair an Coimisiún Eorpach Tionscadal Idirnaisc Clár Talún, is é is aidhm leis tairseach aonair a chur ar fáil inar féidir rochtain a fháil ar fhaisnéis Cláir Talún maidir le gach ballstát. Beidh ról ag an dul chun cinn a rinneadh agus na ceachtanna a foghlaimíodh i bhforbairt na tairsí seo.

Cumann Chlárlann Talún na hEorpa (ELRA)Is é bunaidhm ELRA ná ról clárúcháin talún i margaí reádmhaoine réadaí agus i margaí caipitil i mballstáit AE a fhorbairt agus a thuiscint. Déanann ELRA iarracht eolas frithpháirteach faoi na córais éagsúla cláraithe talún a chur chun cinn sna ballstáit agus cuireann sé fóram ar fáil atá an-áisiúil chun plé a dhéanamh ar fhorbairtí sna córais chláraithe talún ar fud na hEorpa agus faisnéis a mhalartú fúthu. Tá ról suntasach aige freisin maidir leis na baill a choimeád ar an eolas maidir le forbairtí ábhartha ar leibhéal AE.

Ó bunaíodh é in 2004, tá Cumann Chlárlann Talún na hEorpa i ndiaidh fás go tapa, agus faoi láthair tá 24 chumann ann a dhéanann ionadaíocht ar chlárlanna talún 20 ballstát AE.

Le linn 2015, bhí ELRA dírithe go príomha ar fhorbairt a Mhúnla Idir-inoibritheachta i gcomhair Cláir Talún trína thionscadal IMOLA. Is é sprioc an tionscadail múnla i gcomhair aschur caighdeánaithe cláir talún a chur ar fáil, atá nasctha le hábhair mhínithe i dteangacha éagsúla, agus chun oiliúint a chur ar fáil chun tuiscint ar na córais éagsúla dlí lena mbaineann a fheabhsú.

Coimisiún Eacnamaíochta na Náisiún Aontaithe don Eoraip (UNECE) – Meitheal oibre ar Riaradh Talún (WPLA)Tá Meitheal Oibre UNECE ar Riaradh Talún, suite sa Ghinéiv. Bunaíodh é i 1999 d’fhonn riaradh talún a chur chun cinn trí dhaingne tionachta, margaí eastáit réadaigh a fhorbairt agus nuachóiriú na gcóras clárúcháin talún i dtíortha trasdula.

Tá WPLA i ndiaidh forbairt sa chaoi go bhfuil sé ina líonra éifeachtach oifigeach riartha talún san Eoraip agus i Meiriceá Thuaidh. Feidhmíonn sé trí shaineolaithe neamhspleácha a chur chuig tíortha ECE le comhairle a thabhairt faoi bheartas agus moltaí a thabhairt faoi chláir náisiúnta i dtaobh fhorbairt mhargadh na talún agus clárú eastáit réadaigh.

Tá ionadaíocht ag an Údarás Clárúcháin Maoine ar Bhiúró (grúpa stiúrtha) WPLA.

7INSPIREIs é an aidhm atá leis an Treoir INSPIRE ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa ‘Bonneagar um Faisnéis Spásúlacht sa Chomhphobal Eorpach’ (INSPIRE) a bhunú agus trasuíodh é i ndlí na hÉireann trí Ionstraim Reachtúil Uimh. 382 de 2010. Tá sé d’aidhm ag an treoir sin Bonneagar Sonraí Spásúlachta a chruthú fud AE atá bunaithe ar Bhonneagair Sonraí Spásúlachta na mballstát sa chaoi go bhfeadfar faisnéis spásúlacht comhshaoil a chomhroinnt i measc eagraíochtaí na hearnála poiblí, go gceapfar beartais comhshaoil níos fearr agus go mbeidh rochtain níos fearr ag an bpobal ar fhaisnéis spásúlacht ar fud na hEorpa.

Is é Clárlann na Talún an Eagraíocht a bhfuil Sainordú Dlí aici in Éirinn ó thaobh Théama Dháileachtaí Cadastral Iarscríbhinn 1 agus mar sin tá sé de dhualgas uirthi follasú agus dearcadh a chur ar fáil agus sa deireadh thiar seirbhísí a íoslódáil trí INSPIRE agus trí gheothairseacha Bhonneagar d’Fhaisnéis Spáis na hÉireann (ISDI). Is éard atá i ndáileachtaí Cadastral ná tailte atá cláraithe i gClárlann na Talún ach gan clárúcháin ilstór san áireamh.

Seoladh GeoPortal.ie nua, tairseach na hÉireann i gcomhair Faisnéise Geografaí i mí an Mheithimh 2013 agus comhlíonann sí treoracha ISDI/INSPIRE. Ba í an Roinn Comhshaoil, Pobail agus Rialtais Áitiúil agus Suirbhéireacht Ordanáis Éireann a d’fhorbair an tairseach mar chuid de thionscadal Bhonneagar d’Fhaisnéis Spáis na hÉireann (ISDI), d’fhonn éascú a dhéanamh ar shonraí a roinnt ar líne de réir riachtanais Straitéis ríomhsheirbhísí Rialtas na hÉireann agus threoir INSPIRE AE.

Bhí ról lárnach ag ÚCM i bhforbairt agus tástáil GeoPortal.ie sular seoladh é. Soláthraíonn ÚCM sonraí Chlárlann na Talún faoi dháileachtaí cadastral, idir ruíleas agus léasach, dhá uair sa bhliain don Roinn Comhshaoil, Pobail agus Rialtais Áitiúil atá freagrach as na sonraí a uaslódáil ar GeoPortal.ie.

Tá ÚCM ag leanúint ar aghaidh ag soláthar sonraí dáileachta talún do DECLG le haghaidh cúrsaí tagartha agus is féidir breathnú orthu trína gheothairseach MyPlan. Is é an aidhm atá le MyPlan.ie ná ionad ilfhreastail a chruthú le haghaidh faisnéis faoi phleananna forbartha agus an oiread eolais agus is féidir a sholáthar a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ábhartha do chinnteoireacht pleanála (sonraí daonáirimh, láithreáin oidhreachta,patrúin a bhaineann le forbairt tithíochta, srl).

Líonra na gCúig ChlárlannLe blianta beaga anuas bhí cruinnithe leathbhliantúla ann ag ionadaithe chomhlachtaí cláraithe talún Shasana agus na Breataine Bige, na hAlban, Thuaisceart Éireann agus ÚCM le plé agus iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar réimse ceisteanna comhspéise. Chuaigh Oileán Mhanann isteach sa líonra le déanaí. Ó bunaíodh é, tá roinnt foghrúpaí ceaptha le dul i gcomhairle le chéile, agus tuairisc a thabhairt, ar cheisteanna éagsúla, lena n-áirítear treochtaí gnó agus

Déantar na táillí go léir a bhailíonn ÚCM a tharchur chuig an Státchiste ar bhonn leanúnach. Ar an mbonn sin, rinne an tÚdarás Clárúcháin Maoine breis agus €57m a tharchur go díreach chuig an Státchiste in 2015.

Léirítear sa tábla seo a leanas achoimre 10 mbliana ar na táillí a fuair ÚCM. Faoi mar a d’fhéadfaí a bheith ag súil leis, bíonn an éagsúlacht sna táillí a bhailítear ag teacht leis an leibhéal idirbheartaíochta sa mhargadh réadmhaoine in aon bhliain faoi leith.

GlanchaiteachasFaigheann ÚCM maoiniú díreach ón Státchiste chun a shainordú a chur i gcrích, agus is mar leithdháileadh bliantúil Chaiteachas Vótáilte a fhaightear é.

Ba é méid iarbhír a caitheadh ó Vóta ÚCM do 2015 ná €28.8m, leibhéil a bhí ar an dul céanna leis an leibhéal a bhí ann in 2014. Is fiú a thabhairt faoi deara gur tháinig laghdú 38% ar an nglanchaiteachas ó 2008 i leith (Ba é €46.2m glanchaiteachas na bliana 2008).

I gcás an €28.8m sin a caitheadh san iomlán, caitheadh €22m de ar ghlanchostais Foirne; b’ionann é sin agus 76% den chaiteachas uile.

Ba é €28.4m an Glanchaiteachas Reatha iomlán do 2015 i gcomparáid le €28.2m do 2014 (méadú €0.2m).

Ba é €0.4m Caiteachas Caipitil na bliana 2015, laghdú de thart ar €0.2m ar chaiteachas caipitil na bliana 2014.

Costais Cionroinnte

Chomh maith leis na costais a thabhaigh ÚCM go díreach caithfear féachaint ar chostais eile, a thabhaigh Ranna agus oifigí eile, chun pictiúr foriomlán a thaispeáint den chostas a bhaineann le bainistiú ÚCM.

Nuair a chuirtear na costais chionroinnte seo a leanas san áireamh:

◯ €3.9 m faoi Vóta 7 - Aoisliúntas agus Liúntais Scoir

◯ €.0.7m faoi Vóta 10 - Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí

◯ €0.16m faoi Vóta 18 agus Vóta 24 - Seirbhísí Comhroinnte Airgeadais

◯ €2.75m cíosanna barúlacha ar mhaoin faoi úinéireacht an Stáit

Mar sin, agus costais chionroinnte a bhí ann in áiteanna eile san áireamh, mhéadaigh an caiteachas iomlán in 2015 go dtí €36.3m (2014 €36.1m).

An tAcht um Íoc Pras Cuntas, 1997Is é beartas an Údaráis Clárúcháin Maoine téarmaí an Achta um Íoc Pras Cuntas, 1997 a chomhlíonadh go hiomlán. Tá nósanna imeachta i bhfeidhm ag ÚCM lena chinntiú go n-íoctar gach sonrasc laistigh den teorainn ama reachtúil. Cé go bhfuil na nósanna imeachta leagtha amach lena chinntiú go gcomhlíontar an tAcht, ní thugann siad ach dearbhú réasúnta agus ní dearbhú absalóideach in aghaidh neamhchomhlíonadh ábhartha an Achta.

Gearradh cúig phionóis san iomlán in 2015 de bharr sonrasc a íoc déanach. Ba é €1,746 luach na sonrasc go léir a íocadh déanach. Ba é €214 an t-ús iomlán a íocadh le linn 2015 de bharr íocaíochtaí déanacha.

Ráiteas an Oifigigh Chuntasaíochta maidir le Rialú Inmheánach Airgeadais

Freagracht as an gcóras faoin Rialú Inmheánach AirgeadaisMar Oifigeach Cuntasaíochta, admhaím mo fhreagracht as a chinntiú go bhfuil córas éifeachtach rialaithe inmheánaigh airgeadais a choimeád agus a fheidhmiú ag an Roinn/Oifig.

Cleachtaim an fhreagracht seo i gcomhthéacs na n-acmhainní atá ar fáil dom agus mo dhualgais eile mar Phríomhoifigeach Feidhmiúcháin. Ina theannta sin, ní féidir le haon chóras um rialú inmheánach airgeadais ach dearbhú réasúnta seachas dearbhú absalóideach a thabhairt go bhfuil sócmhainní cosanta, idirbhearta údaraithe agus taifeadta i gceart agus go gcuirtear cosc le hearráidí ábhartha nó le neamhrialtachtaí nó go mbraitear go tráthúil iad.

Is próiseas leanúnach é córas um rialú inmheánach airgeadais a choimeád agus déantar athbhreithniú leanúnach ar an gcóras agus ar a éifeacht.

Is mar seo a leanas atá an timpeallacht um rialú airgeadais, an creat um nósanna imeachta riaracháin, tuairisciú bainistíochta agus iniúchadh inmheánach:

An Timpeallacht um Rialú AirgeadaisDearbhaím go bhfuil timpeallacht rialúcháin i bhfeidhm a bhfuil na nithe seo a leanas mar chuid di:

◯ tá freagrachtaí airgeadais sannta ag leibhéal bainistíochta

◯ agus cuntasacht dá réir i gceist,

◯ tá socruithe tuairiscithe bunaithe ar gach leibhéal ina bhfuil freagracht sannta i gcomhair bainistíocht airgeadais,

◯ tá nósanna imeachta foirmiúla bunaithe chun laigí suntasacha rialúcháin a thuairisciú agus gníomh ceartúcháin cuí a chinntiú,

◯ tá Coiste Iniúchtóireachta ann chun comhairle a chur orm agus mé ag comhlíonadh mo chuid freagrachtaí as an gcóras rialaithe airgeadais inmheánaigh.

Rialuithe Riaracháin agus Tuairisciú BainistíochtaDearbhaím go bhfuil creat nósanna imeachta riaracháin agus tuairisciú bainistíochta rialta i bhfeidhm lena n-áirítear deighilt dualgas agus córas

◯ go bhfuil córas cuí buiséadaithe ann mar aon le buiséad bliantúil a ndéanann lucht bainistíochta sinsearach athbhreithniú rialta air,

◯ go ndéanann an lucht bainistíochta sinsearach athbhreithnithe rialta ar thuarascálacha airgeadais tréimhsiúla agus bliantúla a léiríonn feidhmíocht airgeadais i gcoinne réamh-mheastachán,

◯ go bhfuil córas bainistíochta riosca i bhfeidhm sa Roinn/Oifig,

◯ go bhfuil córais ann atá dírithe ar shlándáil na gcóras TFC a chinntiú,

◯ go bhfuil treoirlínte rialaithe cuí d’infheistíocht chaipitiúil agus smachta foirmiúla um bainistíocht tionscadail i bhfeidhm,

◯ go bhfuil an Roinn ag cloí leis na treoirlínte ábhartha go léir maidir le soláthar agus go bhfuil sí ag comhlíonadh gach ciorclán a bhaineann le húsáid éigeantach na gcreat-chomhaontuithe agus conarthaí.

Iniúchadh InmheánachDeimhním go bhfuil feidhm iniúchta inmheánaigh ag an Roinn/Oifig, a fheidhmíonn de réir cairte scríofa, atá faofa agam. Cuireann an anailís ar an riosca a bhfuil an Roinn/Oifig nochta dó bonn eolais ar fáil d’obair an iniúchta inmheánaigh agus bíonn a pleananna iniúchta inmheánaigh bliantúla, arna gceadú agamsa, bunaithe ar an anailís sin. Tá sé mar aidhm ag na pleananna sin na príomhrialuithe a chlúdach go leanúnach thar thréimhse réasúnta. Déanaimse agus an Coiste Iniúchta athbhreithniú tréimhsiúil ar an bhfeidhm iniúchta inmheánaigh. Tá nósanna imeachta curtha i bhfeidhm agam lena chinntiú go gcuirfear tuairiscí na feidhme iniúchta inmheánaigh i gcrích.
