Following on from my post on the changes in UK legislation and the requirements placed on business owners to provide specific details on your website and blog, here is the information relating to changes effective from the 1 January 2007 in Ireland.
The following is an extract from the December newsletter of the Companies Registration Office - the full newsletter can be accessed here.
Changes to Publication/Disclosure Requirements
With effect form 1 January 2007 the information required to be specified on paper company letters and order forms will be extended to electronic form.
In addition every company that has a website will be required to display on its homepage those same particulars or identify on its homepage and make readily accessible a webpage on which the particulars appear.
The particulars are as follows:
(a) that the company is registered in Ireland and the number with which it is registered;
(b) the address of the registered office;
(c) in the case of a company exempt from the obligation to use the word “limited” or “teoranta” as part of its name, the fact that it is a limited company.
It’s a good time to audit your website to ensure that you comply with the new changes.
The CRO in Ireland make available a number of useful information leaflets and you can subscribe to their newsletter if you want to keep up todate with changes.
Many thanks to Michele who informed me about the recent CRO communication.

You’re welcome
Don’t forget - the rules are for company sites and do not apply to personal blogs
