Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Insolvency Services: Insolvency Service of Ireland

2:00 pm

Ms Mary Murphy:

I will elaborate. The ISI is currently engaged in a steering group which is also comprised of representatives of the Department of Justice and Equality and the Citizens Information Bureau. We are working with the Courts Service to put in place a co-ordinated system for disseminating our information to ensure that it is available to those people who need it. As Mr. O'Connor mentioned, a pilot programme is run in conjunction with some county registrars who have enabled some ISI staff to be on site on the day the court repossession hearings take place. In addition, there is dissemination of ISI to the court offices so that the information is available to the court staff who encounter debtors in difficulty and they can refer them on.
