Cork businessman secured 99 per cent debt write-off from bank in formal insolvency deal

For AIB, the settlement amounted to a debt write-off of 99 per cent in a PIA devised by the Dungarvan-based personal insolvency practitioner Mitchell O’Brien.

“Don’t tell me I got an easy ride; I went through torture for four or five years. Anyone who thinks you walk away unscathed is wrong. The turbulence before it is frightening,” he said. “The deal comes at a huge cost; you lose your pension, you are stripped of more or less of everything. I was left with my house, which you get to keep in a PIA.”
