253. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 364 of 27 May 2020, the provisions which will be contained in the short urgent Bill referenced; the changes to the Personal Insolvency Acts necessitated by Covid-19; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10385/20]
View answerIn my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 364 of 27 May, I indicated that my officials are considering certain specific formal or procedural statutory requirements which may be difficult or impracticable to comply with, due to COVID-19 restrictions, including a small number of requirements under the Personal Insolvency Acts, so that any necessary amendments could be addressed in an urgent forthcoming bill.
It is not possible at this stage to provide further details on the exact changes to be included in the forthcoming COVID-related bill, as these have not been finalised at this point in time.
