Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein)

On legislation the Department is drafting, I am aware that an impact analysis is made in terms of financial requirements and so on. In the case of personal insolvency, I understand the proposed legislation will include a discharge period of three years, whereas the corresponding figure in the North is 12 months. In this and other matters is account taken of the situation in the North and how legislation enacted in the State might impact on an all-island basis?
