Email Newsletter The CRO newsletter facility allows subscribers to receive regular news updates from the office by email. These emails are delivered in text format:
1. CRO E-Zine This is an electronic bulletin published once a month. It informs all subscribers of the current developments within the Office and also notifies subscribers of future events.
2. Interim Messages The email newsletter service is effectively split in two (though only one subscriber list is used). Every subscriber receives delivery of the CRO E-Zine once every month. In the interim subscribers may receive further updates if necessary from the Office (urgent or time sensitive messages).

CHANGE TO DAY OF STRIKE-OFF: DAY OF PUBLICATION OF DISSOLUTION IN CRO GAZETTE
The following changes will take place with effect from Friday 3rd May 2013:
Please note that this will not affect the strike off process in any other way. The provisions of the Companies Acts 1963 - 2012 regarding statutory notices, time periods, and publication in the CRO Gazette have not changed and will continue to be adhered to. The change is administrative and does not affect any legal provisions.
BULK DATA
CRO sells its data in "bulk" through two products: one that provides regular uploads of data; and the other which delivers regular uploads of scanned copies of CRO documents. The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation recently decided to license the sale of scanned copies of historic CRO documents. In this regard, a "full load" of all scanned copies of live CRO documents can now be purchased by clients who sign-up as a "bulk customer".
The images are priced according to their age, and are available under licence. For further information on the new product, please visit the Re-Use of Information page.
PUBLICATION OF COMPANIES BILL - 21ST DECEMBER 2012
The Companies Bill was published on 21st December 2012 by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mr. Richard Bruton TD. The Bill proposes many changes to Company Law and consolidation of the various Companies Acts. It will still be some time before enactment and the Bill may undergo some changes. The Bill does not yet have legal effect. Link to Companies Bill 2012 and explanatory memorandum to the Bill http://www.oireachtas.ie/viewdoc.asp?DocID=22537&&CatID=59
CORE WEBSITE
On Wednesday March 6th the CRO migrated CORE (www.core.ie) to a new address: core.cro.ie. The old address will continue to work and users will be automatically redirected to the new address. Where users have bookmarked pages within CORE this may result in them receiving a warning message from their internet browser. If you experience any issues please return to http://www.core.ie, where you will be redirected to the new address core.cro.ie to login.
B1 - ANNUAL RETURNS AND ACCOUNTS - SEND BACK LETTERS - REMINDER
Where an annual return is sent back by CRO for correction or for fees, Section 249A, Companies Act 1990, requires that the errors/omissions must be corrected and a fully compliant document delivered to the CRO within 14 days.
If a fully compliant document is not delivered to the CRO within 14 days, the original document will be deemed not to have been delivered to the Registrar. The re-submitted document will then be treated as a fresh submission, potentially resulting in the company incurring late filing penalties and losing any entitlement to claim audit exemption for two years.
CRO CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS - REMINDER
All Customer Account details, including recent transactions and statements, are now available on-line in CORE. Since 1 January 2013, the CRO does not issue Customer Account statements by post. In order to view your Customer Account details on-line, if you have not already done so, you will need to register in CORE by clicking on https://core.cro.ie/Main/register_iri.jsp
Once registered, you can view your transactions by clicking on My Accounts/ Add/ and by entering your customer number and PIN. You will only need to do this once and all of your details will be available each time you log in to CORE. The new facility offers Account holders a range of additional features such as the facility to view up-to-date transactions and the current balance, to open a statement either in Excel or in a printable format which replicates the old Statement, to access all statements since the account was opened, to deposit funds or open a new account on-line. A new Customer Account can be opened on-line at https://www.cro.ie/search/NewCustomer.aspx.
The Account can be topped up using a Credit Card and can be used to pay for filing fees and penalties when filing submissions electronically through CORE.
