The recent amendment to the Personal Insolvency Legislation could work to your advantage whereby the bank's (BOI in this case) veto can be challenged.

I can't see a court in the land not allowing you to remain in your home as you're paying over 860 per month - part capital + interest. Especially as you're a lone parent with 2 kids.

I would talk once again with the PIP who you found excellent the last time and ask him what he thinks your chances of a successful PIA would be now (post amendment where the bank's veto is no more).

Not sure if you can get your husband off the mortgage.

I would avoid bankruptcy at all costs!!! (I'm speaking as a discharged bankrupt)
 
Agree with epicaricary, do not declare yourself bankrupt. In fact, seeing that you are paying part capital and interest on payments on the mortgage of your PPR, no Judge in Ireland will award a possession order in favour of the bank, unless of course the bank could prove to the court that you could afford the full repayments.
Banks in this Country want to start to wake up to the reality of their situation. Blindly seeking repossession order when they themselves know that there is no chance of obtaining same needs to be highlighted to the judiciary. The legal fees in these actions should be bourne by the bank, not the borrower. Indeed the banks solicitor's have a duty of care to inform the bank's that this is a hopeless course of action and is bound to fail. They too could be culpable in this great legal swindle.
