‹ Order of Business One-year bankruptcy legislation
Summary
Peter Mathews urged priority for legislation introducing one-year bankruptcy, and the Taoiseach said it was being prepared for publication and possible enactment before Christmas.
The House welcomed the Taoiseach's undertaking on Wednesday and the Tánaiste's undertaking twice on Thursday of last week, that one year bankruptcy legislation will be enacted and operational before Christmas. There are 13 sitting days left before Christmas. I hope it is receiving utmost priority in the Department of Justice and Equality.

It is proceeding. Working is taking place on that Bill. I have already said I hope to see it published and, hopefully if we have time, to enact it before Christmas.

Hopefully it will become the new operational word.
