Company Registration
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-02
============================================================

Maurice Quinlivan (SF), Limerick City

I thank the Minister for his response but I am unclear as to the precise action he will take on the issue. I am sure he will agree that the establishment of fake firms in the State is not only a risk to consumers who could be defrauded by these companies, but is also a stain on our reputation internationally. Furthermore, I am sure he will agree that the maintenance of a good faith register of companies without due diligence in respect of important details such as who the directors are and whether the registered address is an actual existing premises is not the best way for the CRO to operate. I hope the Minister can outline the steps he can take to address the problems and the timeframe in which he expects the necessary changes to be made.
