The Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) is an independent government organisation set up to help sort out personal debt problems and help get people back on track.
Answer questions to find out your household's monthly expenses based on your personal circumstances
The ISI believes you are entitled to a reasonable standard of living while you address your debt problems. With the ISI's solutions, there is a minimum standard of living you are entitled to which allows for expenses, etc. The figure is often higher than the amount people in debt live on before seeking an insolvency solution.
