Taoiseach: Nobody will have to choose between job and mortgage

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has confirmed that the guidelines on personal insolvency arrangements will not contain a requirement on a parent to give up work, if the cost of childcare is greater than their income.

It comes after a report in today's Irish Examiner about comments by Transport Minster Leo Varadkar in response to questions, in which he said some working women will have to choose between their careers and paying the mortgage if they enter the insolvency regime.
