Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 June 2022
153. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to claims of a mistake on the beneficiary ownership registration of the Bessboro site in Cork; if these mistakes would be a common issue; and if the Register of Beneficial Ownership have taken steps to address the matter. [28714/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Registrar of Beneficial Ownership is a statutory role and the Registrar has administrative independence in the exercise of this function.
Relevant entities (companies and industrial and provident societies) are required to file beneficial ownership data with the central register of beneficial ownership (RBO). Submission of accurate beneficial ownership information is the responsibility of the entity concerned and any changes must also be notified to the RBO. It is an offence to file false information with the RBO or to fail to notify any changes to beneficial ownership details within the prescribed timeframe.
Concerns regarding the accuracy of the Register can be directed to the RBO at enquiries@rbo.gov.ie, including the words “Reporting discrepancy” in the subject line.
