As we discussed, there are 168,000 people in mortgage arrears. The heads of the Personal Insolvency Bill were first published on 25 January 2012. It is now March 2013. How many sections of the Personal Insolvency Act have been commenced? I have asked this question on a number of occasions on the Order of Business in recent months and the Taoiseach indicated he would check that and get back to me. Given the urgency and all the pronouncements, it is important that we would know the number of sections that have been commenced. Can the Taoiseach provide a timescale for the commencement of any remaining sections that have not been commenced to date?
