I assume that the Deputy is referring to recommendation number 10.7 contained in the Report of the Innovation Taskforce that provides for modernisation of bankruptcy law. The Deputy will appreciate that the recommendation envisages that any such modernisation should follow the conclusion of the Law Reform Commission's consultation process on Personal Debt Management and Debt Enforcement. I can assure the Deputy that my Department will give early attention to consideration of the detail of the Final Report of the Law Reform Commission on the subject of modernisation of bankruptcy when it becomes available in the near future.
