Personal Insolvency Deal

In 2022, Barry Harte struck a €170m personal insolvency deal (PID) in the High Court. The PID allowed Harte to retain €6,000 worth of assets, including a computer and clothes. Living expenses of €2,800/month were accounted for. Mr. Harte's total secured and unsecured debt was over €170.0m. Most creditors received nothing at all, with some "lucky ones" getting 0.042% of what they were owed. The unsecured debt, which is the majority of what's owed, was settled with a €80,000 payment, €70,000 of which will go to creditors. The secured and preferential creditors received a better return due to the handing-over of Mr. Harte's assets. [14] [15]
