Requirements for Irish resident directors

With the enactment of the Companies (Amendment)(No. 2) Act, 1999, all Irish incorporated companies must now have one of the following:-
  • An Irish Resident Director
    PwC can provide a panel of nominee directors to carry out this function.
  • A Bond to the value of Eur25,394.76
    PwC can arrange for the Bond through our Insurance Brokers at competitive rates.
  • A Certification which states that a company has a real and continuous link with one or more economic activities carried on in the State, thus exempting companies from the requirement to have an Irish Resident Director or a bond in place. PwC can liaise with the Revenue Commissioners and Companies Registration Office to obtain such a certification, provided the company has such a link with Ireland.

Arranging for the Provision of Non-executive Directors
We can introduce you to a panel of experienced directors who may be willing to act for you in an non executive capacity should you require their services.

Fees and duties are agreed directly between the client and the director.
