Would the Minister have any statistics of winding up in the past 20 years?
SECTION 251.
Amendment No. 82 not moved.
Question proposed : "That Section 251 stand part of the Bill."
I could give a rough yearly average of about 20.
And compulsory winding up by the court?
It is hard to say what the trend is. Sometimes it seems to go up and then it goes down.
Would that include voluntary winding up?
I could not give the breakdown. The figures are published every year in the report on Companies. We could have them for the next meeting, if the Deputy wishes.
It is only to see the average as between compulsory and voluntary winding up.
There are far more voluntary than compulsory.
Question put and agreed to.
Sections 252 to 255, inclusive, agreed to.
