Data Sources

All company data is sourced from the Companies Registration Office (CRO), Ireland’s central registry for companies, business names, and limited partnerships. The CRO was formally re-established under the Companies Act 2014, which consolidated Ireland’s 17 prior Companies Acts (1963-2013) into a single statute that took effect on 1 June 2015. Two distinct CRO interfaces are used:

CRO Public API (services.cro.ie) — The official web services API providing basic company profile data (name, status, legal form, registered address, registration date) and company search. Used as the primary source for structured company data. Authenticated via API key.
CRO Core Portal (core.cro.ie) — The CRO’s online filing and enquiry platform. Used for document listing and retrieval (historical filings, certificates, reports, and generated extracts). Some document operations can be slower due to register-side access controls.

The CRO Public API provides only basic company profile data (name, status, legal form, address). It does not provide structured data for legal representatives, shareholders, or activity codes. Legal representatives and shareholders are instead extracted from CRO documents using AI parsing (see sections below).

Data Source Priority & Routing

Ireland uses a single registry (CRO) with two access interfaces. Unlike France or Germany, there is no multi-source priority chain — all data comes from the CRO:

Company Profile — Live query to the CRO Public API (services.cro.ie)
Legal Representatives & Other Key Persons — AI-extracted from the Company Printout document (retrieved from CRO Core)
Shareholders — AI-extracted from the most recent B1C Annual Return document (retrieved from CRO Core)
Documents — Listed and retrieved from CRO Core (core.cro.ie)

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
Company Number	Numeric (variable length, typically 5-6 digits)	`12965`	Primary CRO registration number. No zero-padding.

Irish company numbers are purely numeric with no fixed length. Both 12965 and 308943 are valid formats. There is no check digit or prefix — just the raw number assigned by the CRO at incorporation.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
`companyNumber`	Numeric string	`"12965"`	CRO registration number

No VAT or tax identifiers. The CRO API does not provide Irish VAT numbers (IE + 7-9 characters) or Revenue registration numbers. Only the CRO company number is returned.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Company Number	Numeric string	`12965`	Exact	Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow
By Company Name	Text string	`"CRH Public Limited"`	Contains	Multiple results

Search uses both the CRO Public API and CRO Core. Name searches query the CRO Public API for matching companies. For each result, the system also resolves the CRO Core entityId (an internal identifier distinct from the registration number) which is needed for document operations.

Use company number searches for exact matching. Name searches use a “contains” match type and may return many results for common terms.

Fast search data

Ireland company data is periodically synchronized from the CRO Open Data CSV into a fast search index.

Search

Search queries hit the fast search index first for instant results, with automatic fallback to the live CRO API if the fast search index misses.

Companies in fast search data

The fast search index contains only active Irish entities from the CRO dataset. Companies are filtered by CRO status code:

Included Status	Code	Description
Normal	`1151`	Active company
ReInstated HCO	`1160`	Reinstated by High Court order
ReInstated	`1161`	Reinstated

All other status codes (Liquidation, Strike Off Listed, Struck Off, Dissolved, Ceased, etc.) are excluded from the fast search dataset.

Onboarding Mode

In onboarding mode, requests for the company datapoint use the fast search dataset rather than a live CRO lookup. This provides faster responses with lighter enrichment. Data freshness depends on the source refresh schedule.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
No activity codes	The Irish CRO does not provide SIC, NACE, or any industry classification codes. Unlike the UK (which provides SIC codes via Companies House), activity classification is entirely absent from CRO data.
Legal reps from AI parsing	Directors and secretaries are extracted from the Company Printout PDF using AI, not from a structured API endpoint. The CRO Public API does not expose officer data.
Shareholders from B1C only	Shareholders are AI-extracted from the most recent B1C (Annual Return with Accounts) document. Companies without a recent B1C return empty shareholders.
B1C age limit	B1C documents must cover at most the current year minus 2. In 2026, only B1Cs covering 2024 or later are accepted. Older filings are rejected to avoid stale data.
Shareholders require active status	Shareholder extraction only runs for companies with Active, Under Insolvency Proceeding, or Unknown status. Closed companies return no shareholders.
entityId differs from company number	The CRO Core portal uses an internal `entityId` that is different from the public registration number (e.g., company `104547` maps to `entityId` `139795`). This mapping is resolved automatically via search.
Company number format varies	Irish company numbers have no fixed length or zero-padding. Values like `12965`, `104547`, and `308943` are all valid.
PDF multi-column parsing	CRO Company Printout PDFs use multi-column layouts where sections may be interleaved. Page footers containing dates and “Company:” text must be distinguished from actual addresses.
Register-side waiting room	CRO Core can place document operations in a waiting room. Document operations handle this automatically.
Document retrieval is asynchronous	Document retrieve and download involves a multi-step process (retrieval, download, save) that typically takes 1-2 minutes per document.
Most documents are fee-based	Most CRO documents have a register fee. Some older filings for certain companies may be free. Check `availableDocuments` and live pricing before retrieval.
CRO status text has trailing spaces	The `company_status_desc` from the CRO API may include trailing whitespace (e.g., `"Normal "` instead of `"Normal"`). The `localName` preserves this verbatim.

Statutory Filings

Every Irish company has a Next Annual Return Date (NARD), the date its annual return (Form B1) falls due. The CRO publishes it alongside the date of the last return filed, and both are returned on the cross-country statutoryFilings field. The Irish annual return is the same obligation as the UK confirmation statement: a periodic confirmation that the company’s particulars are current. It is not a financial filing, so it maps to annualFiling.

{
  "statutoryFilings": {
    "annualFiling": {
      "cadence": "annual",
      "lastFiled": { "periodEnd": "2025-05-23" },
      "next": { "periodEnd": "2026-05-23" },
      "source": "cro"
    }
  }
}

The NARD is not the filing deadline. The CRO defines the Annual Return Date as the latest date to which a return must be made up, and the return is then due within 56 days of it. Both dates are therefore reported as periodEnd, and no dueDate is published: treating the NARD as a deadline would mark every Irish company overdue about eight weeks early.The deadline is not derived either, because it is not a plain 56 days. It extends to the next working day when it falls on a weekend or public holiday, and where financial statements must be annexed it is the earlier of ARD + 56 days and financial-year-end + 9 months + 56 days.

The accounts obligation is not returned for Ireland: the CRO company endpoint carries no accounts date. Business names (the -B register, sole traders) file no annual return at all, so statutoryFilings is absent for them. See Compliance Signals & Statutory Filings for the full field reference.

Mappings

Company Status

Company status is determined deterministically from CRO numeric status codes — no AI inference is involved.

Code	CRO Status	Standardized Status	Closure Reason	Active?
1151	Normal	Active	-	Yes
1153	Normal (Receivership)	Active	-	Yes
1160	ReInstated HCO	Active	-	Yes
1161	ReInstated	Active	-	Yes
1162	Interim	Active	-	Yes
1154	Examinership	Under Insolvency Proceeding	-	Yes
1152	Liquidation	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Liquidation	No
1155	Liquidation (Receivership)	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Liquidation	No
1156	Strike Off Listed	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Administrative Dissolution	No
1157	Struck Off	Closed	Administrative Dissolution	No
1158	Dissolved	Closed	Voluntary Dissolution	No
1159	Dissolved-20 years	Closed	Voluntary Dissolution	No
1163	Ceased	Closed	Other	No
1173	Dissolved PostMerger	Closed	Merger	No

Examinership is an Irish insolvency process (similar to US Chapter 11) where the company remains active while under court protection. The company is mapped as active: true but with status UNDER_INSOLVENCY_PROCEEDING because it can still trade.Normal (Receivership) means the company is in receivership but not in liquidation — it remains active. A receiver manages specific assets while the company continues to operate.

Legal Forms

Ireland’s company types are defined by the Companies Act 2014 and earlier legislation. The CRO assigns a numeric company_type_code to each entity. The mapping to standardized forms is deterministic (hardcoded lookup table, not AI-inferred). ISO 20275 (ELF) codes will be populated in a future update.

Legal forms are classified from official registry data. For known codes, standardized classification is applied directly; for unrecognized codes, AI-based classification is used as fallback.

Foreign Body Corporate making a local offer (B18a)	Foreign Branch (Local Offer)	Branch / Representative Office	-

Unknown	Unknown	Other	-

Standardization rationale: Unlimited companies (ULC, PUC, PULC) are mapped to Limited Liability Company or Corporation based on their private/public nature, despite having unlimited member liability. This prioritizes corporate structure over liability model for consistent classification. Guarantee companies (CLG, DAC guarantee) are similarly mapped to Limited Liability Company as they are corporate bodies with separate legal personality.

Legal Representatives

Legal representatives are AI-extracted from the CRO Company Printout document (trade register extract). The CRO Public API does not provide structured officer data.

Role	Classification	Authority
Director	Legal Representative	Statutory authority to bind the company
Company Secretary	Other Key Person	Statutory officer but no legal representation authority
Electronic Filing Agent	Other Key Person	Agent for CRO filings, no legal authority

The classification of roles is defined by explicit parsing instructions, not by AI inference. Directors are always legal representatives; secretaries and filing agents are always other key persons.Both individuals and companies can hold roles. Electronic Filing Agents are typically companies (e.g., accountancy firms), while directors and secretaries are typically individuals.

Other Key Persons

Role	English Translation	Notes
Company Secretary	Secretary	Statutory officer required by Irish law
Electronic Filing Agent	Filing Agent	Authorized agent for electronic CRO submissions

Shareholders

Shareholders are AI-extracted from the most recent Form B1C (Annual Return with Accounts) filed with the CRO. This is conceptually similar to the German approach of extracting shareholders from filed documents rather than structured registry data. Extraction process:

Fetch available documents and find the most recent B1C form
Verify the B1C covers a recent period (within 2 years of the current year)
Retrieval and download the B1C document from CRO Core
OCR the PDF using Mistral OCR
Parse shareholders using AI (racing multiple models for speed)

Data extracted per shareholder:

Field	Description	Example
`type`	Individual or company	`"company"`
`sharePercentage`	Ownership percentage, computed from the share counts (share held ÷ total issued shares)	`99`
`numberOfShares`	Number of shares held	`2`
`nominalCapitalHeld`	Capital value with currency	`{ "amount": 2.54, "currency": "EUR" }`
`company.legalName` or `individual.name`	Shareholder name	`"Analysys Mason Limited"`
`company.legalAddress` or `individual.residenceAddress`	Parsed from B1C	Structured address object
`company.countryCode` or address `countryCode`	Derived from address	`"GB"`

Shareholder names, share counts, and addresses are read from the B1C members and share tables; sharePercentage and nominalCapitalHeld are then computed from the printed share counts and issued share capital (not free-form estimates), so the same filing always yields the same figures. Example response — the shareholders array for LinkedIn Technology Unlimited Company (CRO 477442), whose B1C lists two members:

[
  {
    "type": "company",
    "company": {
      "legalName": "LinkedIn International",
      "countryCode": "IM",
      "legalAddress": {
        "addressLine1": "34 North Quay",
        "city": "Douglas",
        "postalCode": "IM2 4EY",
        "countryCode": "IM"
      }
    },
    "sharePercentage": 1,
    "numberOfShares": 1,
    "nominalCapitalHeld": { "amount": 1, "currency": "EUR" },
    "source": "Extracted from B1C Annual Return (Form B1C - Annual Return General)"
  },
  {
    "type": "company",
    "company": {
      "legalName": "Microsoft Ireland Research Unlimited Company",
      "countryCode": "IE",
      "legalAddress": {
        "addressLine1": "70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay",
        "city": "Dublin",
        "countryCode": "IE"
      }
    },
    "sharePercentage": 99,
    "numberOfShares": 99,
    "nominalCapitalHeld": { "amount": 99, "currency": "EUR" },
    "source": "Extracted from B1C Annual Return (Form B1C - Annual Return General)"
  }
]

Limitations:

Limitation	Details
Single document source	Only the most recent B1C is used; historical ownership changes are not tracked
B1C age limit	Must cover at most current year minus 2 (e.g., 2024+ in 2026). Older filings return empty shareholders
Active companies only	Only companies with Active, Under Insolvency Proceeding, or Unknown status
AI extraction quality	Best-effort reconstruction from document text; complex multi-column layouts may affect accuracy
Paid document	The B1C is automatically retrieved if not already available

Activity Code Mapping

Ireland does not provide activity codes (SIC, NACE, or any industry classification) through the CRO API. Activity classification is not part of the CRO company profile data.

Unlike the UK (which provides SIC codes via Companies House) or France (which provides NAF/APE codes), the Irish CRO does not include industry classification codes in its data. As a result, NACE and ISIC codes are not available for Irish companies.

Documents by Company Type

Documents are sourced from CRO Core (core.cro.ie) and organized into three categories: documents (filings), certificates, and reports.

Document Type	API Category	Format	Catalog item	Description
Company Printout	`tradeRegisterExtract`	PDF	`IRL_COMPANY_PRINTOUT`	Current company details from registry (no financial accounts)
Financial Statements	`financialStatements[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Annual accounts, auditor reports, account details
Company Constitution	`articlesOfAssociation[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Constitutional documents defining governance rules
B1C Annual Return	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Annual return with accounts (shareholder data source)
B1 Annual Return	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Annual return without accounts
B10 Director/Secretary Changes	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Director or secretary appointment/resignation filings
Charge Documents (C1, C2, C6, C17)	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Mortgage/charge creation, satisfaction, and updates
Share Capital (B5, B7)	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Share allotments and capital structure changes
Resolutions (G1, G2)	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Special and ordinary shareholder resolutions
A1 Incorporation	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_DOCUMENTS`	Original application to register as a new company
Letter of Status	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_REPORTS`	Official letter confirming company current status
Certificates	`otherDocuments[]`	PDF	`IRL_CERTIFICATES`	Charge certificates, name change certificates, etc.

Document pricing varies — see the pricing page for current rates per document type. Most documents (filings and certificates, and reports like Company Printout and Letter of Status) are paid; some older filings for certain companies may be free. For structured data pricing, Topograph bills Company Printout-backed people data separately from B1C-backed shareholder data. The system uses a global retrieval lock to prevent duplicate downloads.

B1C priority sorting. When listing available documents, B1C (Annual Return with Accounts) forms are prioritized at the top of the document list, followed by other documents sorted by date descending. This ensures the most useful documents for due diligence appear first.
