I have no immediate plans to remove upfront fees in relation to personal insolvency arrangements. However, both my Department and the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) have given a commitment that the effectiveness of the personal insolvency legislation will be kept under review, this includes the fees associated with the arrangements.
