Launch Of ISI Public Information Campaign

Yesterday the Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter, and Director of the Insolvency Service of Ireland ("ISI"), Lorcan O'Connor, launched the ISI's public information campaign, which includes guides to the three new personal insolvency arrangements, its website and an information helpline for queries.

Speaking at the launch, Minister Shatter indicated that the purpose of the new arrangements was to help restore people who are insolvent to solvency "in a fair, transparent and equitable way". Mr. O'Connor went on to confirm that the ISI was focused on making the personal insolvency arrangements available as quickly as possible. The ISI hopes to be in a position to begin accepting applications for arrangements at the end of June this year.
