Summary

The High Court approved a Personal Insolvency Arrangement (PIA) for 47‑year‑old John Maloney, a project manager in a development company, allowing him to write off over €3.4 million in debt owed mainly to Cabot Financial. Maloney had secured loans in the 2000s for various property development projects, including a nursing home and land development in County Cork, using personal guarantees. He has worked with creditors to manage debts and dispose of assets. Under the PIA, which lasts 12 months, Maloney will pay a lump sum of €35,000, of which €5,000 covers insolvency application costs, to creditors. The arrangement was presented by Personal Insolvency Practitioner John Butler, represented by Deirdre Miller BL, and the court found it preferable to bankruptcy. No objections were raised, and the PIA will enable Maloney to return to solvency upon completion.
