From 19th November 2012, certain Statutory Notices will be required under the Companies Acts to be published in the CRO Gazette and no wider publication will be necessary under the Companies Acts after that date. However, for a period of approximately four months from 19th November 2012, certain Notices will continue to be published in the Iris Oifigiúil Supplement as well as appearing in the CRO Gazette. This will occur where correspondence/statutory notices issuing from the Companies Registration Office to companies prior to the 19th November 2012 referred to publication taking place in Iris Oifigiúil . In these cases, the notice will be also be published in the CRO Gazette.

Please note that section 72 of the Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2005 is being commenced only in respect of the above items 1-6. The remainder of the items listed in the Table to section 72 will continue to be required to be published in Iris Oifigiúil post-19th November 2012 (Such as notice of appointment of liquidator, receiver and examiner).
