I am advised by the Official Assignee in Bankruptcy in the Insolvency Service of Ireland that provision for rent or mortgage costs are allowed for as part of Reasonable Living Expenses under Housing costs. These costs are reviewed by the Bankruptcy Division on a case by case basis to ensure they are reasonable for the individual family circumstances.

Reasonable Living Expenses Guidelines are published by the ISI in accordance with Section 23 of the Personal Insolvency Act 2012.
