Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 May 2004
109 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she, or any agency under her aegis, has carried out an inquiry into the financial, operational and management structures of organisations (details supplied). [14718/04]
View answerNo investigation of the kind referred to by the Deputy has been carried out by my Department in relation to either of these companies.
Since 28 November 2001, the Director of Corporate Enforcement is responsible for enforcing and for securing compliance with the Companies Acts. He is required under the Company Law Enforcement Act 2001 to be independent in performing those functions. He is also obliged as a general principle to keep confidential any information obtained by him in that context. I am not in a position to say, therefore, whether or not any investigation has been or is being carried out by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement in regard to these companies.
