Ireland Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Ireland company register data lives with the CRO (Companies Registration Office) under the Companies Act 2014, listing shareholders, shareholding percentages, and directors through the CORE portal. Ireland closed public access after the November 2022 CJEU ruling, leaving only entity name and UBO count visible to the public, at a threshold of more than 25% of shares, voting rights, or ownership interest. Access now runs three tiers: competent authorities unrestricted, AML-obligated banks and professionals via portal login, and legitimate-interest applicants who had zero approvals since public access ended. RBO data is verified directly against Revenue's PPSN database; CRO shareholder data is not verified the same way, so resolving the chain to a natural person means repeating manual tracing for every shareholder entity, in every jurisdiction it touches.
