204 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he plans to introduce legislation to prevent private debt collectors entering a property to seize goods without proper court authorisation. [11772/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe law already provides that entry to or interference with the property of another person can be a civil or criminal wrong. However, operation of the law in this area is being kept under review in my Department with a view to any legislative changes that may be necessary. Moreover, the Law Reform Commission is currently preparing its Final Report on Management of and Enforcement of Debt, which will include examination of the law in relation to debt collectors.
