I refer the Deputy to my answer to Question No. 1265 of 18 September, 2012 in which I said that the precise details in regard to the regulation of personal insolvency practitioners require further consideration in the final development of the Personal Insolvency Bill 2012 in consultation with the Department of Finance, the Central Bank and relevant professional bodies. I will be bringing forward detailed proposals by way of amendments to the Bill during its passage through the Oireachtas.
I can assure the Deputy that no decisions have been taken as to who may be licensed as personal insolvency practitioners.
I should mention that I have no role in regard to the Mortgage Advisory Service operated by the Department of Social Protection.
