All,
After 4 unsuccessful attempts to contact my local Labour TD Aodhan O'Riordain on what progress has been made since Dail reconvened I finally got a pathetic reply to say Willie Penrose submits the bill each week but it is a "complete lottery" and they cannot advise of any date when it might be heard before telling me I'd be better off contacting Penrose directly.
I have done so but no reply yet.
MikeL2007,
Can you please contact Willie and see where we are?
I feel you will have better success being a constituent.
Thanks
Anyone else got any feedback recently?
PS
I hope Aodhan and his canvassers have a good pair of runners when they call canvassing for a vote.
Hi SilvioDante,
I have continued to lobby Willie Penrose and our local Labour TD Pat Rabbitte. They have both said that the next best step is to lobby the minister for justice directly. We have done so by sending her our Oireachtais submission asking with a cover letter. The Bill is now effectively on her desk and required her sponsorship.
Suggest you and anyone else interested in seeing this through do the same.
Regards
Mike
...However, she claimed there is considerable resistance to the proposal within FG.
Regrettably this has become a highly political issue.
FG are furious with Labour for forcing them to postpone the election and issues like this which were important to Labour will now be used as payback (ie mess Penrose about)
Politics is such a vile area at times.
Regardless of the term reduction, I've a letter from the Courts Services stating that they haven't got the resources for assessing bankruptcy applications and so my paperwork is sitting on file and won't be examined in the near future.
I'd have 8 months completed if I went across the water.
It's funny, I was only listening to piece on the radio (was the last word, i think) where they were talking about insolvency leg. Bankruptcy was mentioned by way of low numbers applying. No mention of the fact that applications are on hold due to numbers, just spun it as 'not really that many needing the service', bit of a joke really. A dropped ball by Matt Cooper to question the guest on the freeze on applications due to the numbers involved.How long have they left you waiting?
That's an awful situation to be in. I was left waiting in March/April but applied as much pressure as I could and got a date in late April.
