The companies office database is now available on CD-ROM. Featuring 273,000 registered companies, users can access director, document, charge and general information on every registered company in Ireland. Document retrieval from the office will still be subject to a £3 order charge.

Updated monthly, the CD-ROM will work out cheaper than a direct database line charge if the user seeks information about 20 times a month. Different charges apply to varying levels of usage.

Included in the database are the past legal history of companies and any outstanding mortgages and charges. Details of examinerships and liquidations are also available.
