Recently Struck Off Irish Companies

Irish companies that have been formally struck off the Companies Registration Office (CRO) register. A struck-off company no longer exists as a legal entity — it cannot trade, sue or be sued, and any remaining assets become property of the State.

What is a struck-off company?

A company is struck off when the CRO removes it from the register, most commonly for failure to file annual returns or financial statements. Once struck off, the entity is legally dissolved.

Restoration to the register is possible within 20 years through either the CRO (administrative restoration, within 12 months) or by High Court application (after 12 months and up to 20 years).

Why this list matters

Researchers, journalists, accountants and credit teams use the struck-off register to verify whether a counterparty still exists, to investigate company histories, and to see which directors have been associated with dissolved entities.

Each row links to the company's full archived profile on Businesses.ie, including former directors and the last filed financials where available.

Need to restore a company?

Restoration restores the company as if it had never been dissolved — but only if you can demonstrate compliance and pay all outstanding fees and penalties. Speak with a solicitor or company secretary before applying.
