There is no statutory obligation on the Registrar of Companies to prepare an annual report. However, the Registrar does prepare such a report and this is laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, in conjunction with the annual statutory companies report, prepared by my Department. Both reports for 2012 are currently being translated into Irish and, following consideration by Government, will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas in advance of the statutory deadline of end July in respect of the Companies Report.
