I am advised by the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) that as of 16 September 2013 a total of 47 Personal Insolvency Practitioners have been authorised. In addition, there are 27 individuals within 8 Money Advice and Budgeting Service companies, authorised to act as Approved Intermediaries.
I understand that the ISI is currently processing a large number of practitioner applications and the number of authorised Personal Insolvency Practitioners and Approved Intermediaries is expected to increase over the coming weeks.
Lists of the authorised Personal Insolvency Practitioners and Approved Intermediaries are available on the ISI website, www.isi.gov.ie and those lists will be added to on a continuous basis as persons are authorised.
