Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2005 (Commencement) (No. 2) Order 2005, SI No. 695 of 2005 

December, 2005 -

This Order . which came into effect on 1 December 2005, facilitates the expansion of the electronic filing system in the Companies Registration Office. Companies may now appoint Electronic Filing Agents to sign and file documents with the CRO in electronic form. The Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mr Michael Ahern, stated, “The introduction of a statutory Electronic Filing Agent will greatly simplify the process for companies and their agents. It will lead to greater use of electronic filing by customers of the CRO. Taken together with the forthcoming adjustment in fees, doing business electronically with the CRO is now easier, quicker and cheaper.” Minister Ahern was referring to the new fee structure for CRO filings, which applies from 1 December 2005, under which electronic filings are charged at a lower fee than hard copy filings.
