Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Insolvency Service of Ireland: Discussion

2:40 pm

Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

I would not. The reason I say that is that if one looks at international precedent, such as the UK, where the register is available, there is not much focus on it. Equally, there is a register for bankruptcy in Ireland - in effect, a public register for people who get judgments registered against them - but it does not receive the kind of attention the Deputy suggests. However, we will have to see how it plays out.
