============================================================

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Shortall. It relates to the change in law by way of statutory instrument last year that, effectively, shut down transparency when it comes to the central register of beneficial ownership of companies. This change came on foot of a Court of Justice of the European Union judgment, but we have interpreted it very differently from other jurisdictions.
