Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland

Mr. Christopher Lehane:

In relation to splitting the mortgage, I do not believe that is possible as it is a contract entered into by two people. I am not certain whether the Legislature can legislate in effect to split a mortgage in that case.
