Companies Registration Office

Also known as CRO.

The Companies Registration Office registers and incorporates companies in Ireland and files their annual returns. It is an office of the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment.

The establishing legislation was not confirmed in the sources. The Companies (Re-Constitution of Records) Act 1924 already refers to the office of the registrar of companies, so the office existed by then, but the instrument that first created it was not identified.

312 spending records on file.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
