    If the AIB is going to deal with these things in a way similar to that of the Official Receiver in the rest of the UK, then they will be fine with you continuing these contracts (as long as they are not in arrears). However, the cost of them must be met from the surplus income allowed to you once any repayments to your creditors (if any) have been decided upon.
