I ask this question on the back of an article written by John Mulligan, a journalist with theIrish Independent, in July. The article suggested that several bogus companies have been created across the State. The CRO advised that it had no role to play in verifying the details of these new companies. In my capacity as Chairman of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, I wrote to the Minister's Department regarding the CRO and seeking clarification on this issue. I was not happy with the response I received and, therefore, I ask the Minister to address the issue now.
