New Insolvency service fast-tracks bankruptcy process
Nearly 800 people will be debt free from today.
They are the first group to qualify for new faster bankruptcy proceedings.
The Insolvency Service of Ireland says from today, the 793 people will be able to start again without the burden of unsustainable debt.
Writer Jillian Godsill went bankrupt and lost her family home during the recession, as she went through a divorce.
She says the proceedings were due to take three years, and she's happy it's come a bit earlier.
