The Companies Registration Office (CRO) is the central repository of public statutory company law related information on Irish companies. The CRO registers companies and makes information available to the public.
Commencing with Quarter 1 2026, the CRO will be providing statistics on a quarterly basis in relation to the lifecycle of a company: Incorporations, Restructuring, Liquidations and Strike Offs.
There are over 340,000 companies on the Register, and 579,316 documents were filed with the CRO in 2025. Of these, over 95% (554,952) were filed electronically.
Commenting on the publication, Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment said “I welcome the initiative by the Companies Registration Office (CRO) to publish this data on a quarterly basis. The data gathered by the CRO is an important indicator of business in Ireland, tracking as it does the number of new companies being incorporated, companies availing of the various restructuring processes and companies entering liquidation. The availability of this data on an ongoing basis will allow a more up to date assessment of such activity in the Irish economy and I look forward to studying the CRO’s quarterly releases with interest.”
The statistics for Quarter 1 2026 will be launched on 5 June 2026.
