View answerThe Personal Insolvency Bill is currently being drafted by my Department in cooperation with the Office of the Attorney General and Parliamentary Counsel. This is a very lengthy and complex Bill from a legal standpoint, with proposed provisions which do not currently exist in Irish law. I can assure the Deputy that the Bill remains a legislative priority for the Government and it is expected that the Bill will be published at the end of this month with the strong intention to commence Second Stage in the Dáil prior to the Summer recess to facilitate early passage of the legislation through the Oireachtas in the Autumn session.
