143. Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide a breakdown of the fees to personal insolvency practitioners under the abhaile scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36453/22]
View answerThe fees paid to a Personal Insolvency Practitioner (PIP) under the Abhaile scheme are paid by the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) to the PIP and are subsequently recouped at an aggregate level by the ISI from the Citizens Information Board (CIB).
The annual breakdown of payments made to ISI by CIB in respect of vouchers redeemed is the following:

2016 Actual |
2017 Actual |
2018 Actual |
2019 Actual |
2020 Actual |
2021 Actual |
2022 Actual YTD |
Total for 2016-2022 |

€404,670 |
€3,049,785 |
€1,481,790 |
€1,225,440 |
€1,006,830 |
€569,725 |

A further breakdown is not available from CIB or from my Department.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
