Can a child maintenance agreement be overturned in bankruptcy?

After a separation agreement (non-judicial) with ex I am paying child maintenance (€150/mth) for my daughter.
I understand that this is deemed a legitimate living expense under RLE guidelines.
If I go bankrupt/enter PIA, is this untouchable or will the amount I'm paying come under scrutiny?

Will creditors/OA seek to adjust the amount downwards?

If so, what would the adjusted figure likely be?

TIA

In my experience living expenses must be covered first before any debt repayment.

Child maintenance is a living expense; it's already extremely low, and I would guess is based on your current income.
