59. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if an investigation is being undertaken by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement into the substance of a complaint submitted to the ODCE by a person (details supplied) in 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28212/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the provisions of the Companies Act 2014, the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement is responsible for enforcing and encouraging compliance with company law, investigating suspected offences under the Act, prosecuting detected breaches of the Companies Act, referring cases to the Director of Public Prosecutions on indictment and exercising a supervisory role over the activities of liquidators and receivers.
Section 949(3) of the Companies Act 2014 provides that the Director of Corporate Enforcement shall be independent in the performance of his statutory functions.
Neither the Tánaiste, nor I, as Minister, have a function in such matters.
