In my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 364 of 27 May, I indicated that my officials are considering certain specific formal or procedural statutory requirements which may be difficult or impracticable to comply with, due to COVID-19 restrictions, including a small number of requirements under the Personal Insolvency Acts, so that any necessary amendments could be addressed in an urgent forthcoming bill.

It is not possible at this stage to provide further details on the exact changes to be included in the forthcoming COVID-related bill, as these have not been finalised at this point in time.
