I am contemplating bankruptcy but awaiting some inheritance soon. It will be paid into an account I hold in the republic of Ireland. I am a UK resident and hold dual citizanship. Will the Irish bank be made aware of my banruptcy or will the UK become aware of my irish account?

It is up to individual banks whether they close accounts or not.
I have a friend who applied for a mortgage after moving to ROI and their English Credit file was checked.
Cant be more specific than that.
The OR will also do extensive checks on you i would imagine that overseas bank accounts can also be checked, however again i dont know internal proceedures. Suzanne the expert used to be an examiner so she will have more of an idea on this point. |

I never said that. My Irish bank account doesnt currently show on my UK credit file. Will the bank be made aware of my bankruptcy and close my account as a UK bank would. Sorry, I dont mean to be rude please could you answer the original question?

Any credit files will be linked on your credit report.
Are you trying to hide this money then Steve??? |

You haven't answered my question. Will the OR know I have it if its in an irish bank account and not in the UK? and will my Irish bank be made aware of my bankruptcy? |

If you are made bankrupt and then receive inheritance you will need to declare this to the OR |
