Irish Registration - Unbroken Proof of Ownership Problem

[AllWinds]

Hi Everyone,
Sorry about the Newbie post here, but I've searched and not found any specific answers to my question.

I am quite close to purchasing a boat which is currently on the UK Part III SSR. I would like to register the boat in Ireland should we go ahead with the purchase but it appears that the Irish Registrars will not register a ship without an original build certificate and a complete ownership history with original Bills of Sale going back to new or a Certificate of Deletion from a Title Registry (Not UK SSR) and a complete ownership history since that.

The boat I am interested in is 35 years old and only has a history going back to two owners, the first of whom has unfortunately passed away and has been on the UK SSR back to that point.

I've been trying to phone the Irish Registrars (at multiple offices) for the last two weeks but no one answered the phone. Has anyone ever successfully found a solution or workaround for this problem?

Cheers
All Winds
