The Deputy will be aware that the appointment of examiners under the terms of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1990, and the conduct of examinerships are matters under the aegis of the courts. There are requirements in the Act relating to the making of notifications to the registrar of companies at various points in the proceedings. Such notifications are made available in the normal course for public inspection in the Companies Office.
The information sought by the Deputy, and further data, is largely available from the statutory companies reports which are in the Dáil Library. For the convenience of the Deputy, a summary of the data requested is set out as follows. I should stress that care should be taken in any interpretation of such statistics as indicating success or otherwise in particular cases.
