There was a time when a Member of the Oireachtas who became bankrupt had to leave the Oireachtas but that is no longer the case. I note that head 10 provides that if a member of the external oversight body "is adjudicated bankrupt", he or she shall cease to be a member. Is that provision a bit archaic?
