No. Since 1st December 2009 (Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act, 2009) a minor cannot hold property in his/her own name. It must be held in trust for them.

@johneym, isn't that the same question you asked here - http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=129447

The answer seems to be the same as well from the same poster (?).

I knew I'd dealt with something similar recently.
