I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department and I have held detailed consultations with stakeholders and experts over the past months in the context of the review of personal insolvency legislation and of the development of those elements of the recently announced mortgage arrears package for which I am responsible. The Department has also consulted in detail with the Office of the Attorney General. It has not been considered necessary to also contract companies or persons to provide further expertise at this point.
