New website compliancy regulations, introduced in accordance with the European Directive 2003/58/EC, have been effective since 2007and require all Irish registered limited liability companies to display the following particulars on the company website

-    full legal name of the company
-    company number
-    registered office address
-    stating the company’s limited status if it is exempt from the obligation to include it in the company’s name
-    in a case where the company is being wound up then this must be stated
-    all references to share capital of the company must only be to share capital that is paid-up in full.

In other words the website requires the same principle information, already required for disclosure on hard copy documentation. The new regulations also require that this information should be disclosed on certain company electronic communications. All limited liability companies are now required to review their existing websites and email communication protocol to ensure compliance.

Please note that these regulations do not refer to Irish registered unlimited liability companies. Full tables on information disclosure requirements from various types of companies across hard copy and e-communications are detailed below.
