eConveyancing and eSignatures in Ireland

In 2003, the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Law Reform Commission established a joint project for the major reform and modernisation of land law and conveyancing law in Ireland. The ultimate goal of this project was to "modernise the substantive law which underpins the conveyancing system"1 and to introduce an eConveyancing system similar to those which had already been developed in other jurisdictions. A year later, the Law Reform Commission released a consultation paper which set out the proposals to implement the joint project and although the consultation paper did state that the process would involve three stages2 and would take "some years to develop",3 we are now nearly 20 years on and are no closer to the proposed eConveyancing system being introduced.
