Companies Act (2014) Consultation
Just a quick reminder that the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment is seeking the views of stakeholders and interested parties on proposed changes to the Companies Act 2014 in relation to access to the usual residential addresses of company Directors and Secretaries. It is also proposed that similar changes be reflected in the drafting of the Co-operative Societies Bill and the Registration of Limited Partnership and Business Names Bill.
Background
Under the Companies Act 2014, companies must keep and make publicly available a Register of Directors and Secretaries containing, amongst other information, the directors and secretaries (Relevant Officers) “usual residential address”. Company filings with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) in relation to incorporation, appointment / change of directors and annual returns also include the “usual residential addresses” of relevant officers which is also publicly available.
The deadline for the consultation is on the 19th of December and further details can be found here.
If you have any questions about it please do not hesitate to contact SFA Public Affairs Lead, Jonathan McDade at Jonathan.McDade@sfa.ie or 01 605 1688.
