PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Ireland under IE178279, and its current status with Companies Registration Office (CRO) is active. The company was incorporated on 2 September 1991 and lists its registered address as Ireland. 2 shareholders are on record for PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies Registration Office (CRO) and was last updated on 26 October 2026.

Shareholders

2

Two shareholders are currently on record for PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED, held on the Annual Return (Form B1) under section 342 of the Companies Act 2014, which the register supplies only on payment.

The largest of these is PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED, holding 70.4% — a majority holding — followed by PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED at 29.6%.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers

5

Peter Flanagan (appointed 1993-10-29) and Brian Connolly (appointed 2021-04-29) both serve as Director; Brian Connolly (appointed 2021-04-29) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (RICHARD FLINN and PATRICK NOLAN) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 14 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, DAZEWELL LIMITED, registered in Ireland. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED is PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in PRINCIPAL SYSTEMS LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies Registration Office (CRO). DAZEWELL LIMITED sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 1 subsidiary spans Ireland, Australia jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
