No Personal Insolvency Practitioners have yet been authorised by the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI). The ISI has received over 90 applications from potential practitioners since the Personal Insolvency Act 2012 (Authorisation and Supervision of Personal Insolvency Practitioners) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 209 of 2013) were published in late June. These applications are being assessed and will be processed, as appropriate, by the ISI. The ISI expects to begin issuing authorisations for persons to act as Personal Insolvency Practitioners by the end of this month. The names of practitioners will be published as soon as they are authorised on the relevant register on the ISI's website, www.isi.gov.ie.
