Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (5 Nov 2013)

Dara Calleary: I draw the Minister of State's attention to section 8(4)(9) of the UK Companies Act 2006. I am happy to return to this later but I wanted to indicate that point. If we do not get clarification on this before Report Stage I indicate that we may table an amendment on Report Stage.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (5 Nov 2013)

Dara Calleary: On the total number of directorships, does that only apply to Irish registered companies? One could be a director of any number of companies around the world and I take it that the limit indicated would not apply in that case and that it only applies to Irish registered companies?

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (5 Nov 2013)

Dara Calleary: I am concerned that there is a vagueness in that section, between lines 30 and 35. There is a vagueness in the language that may allow for a director to justify inappropriate behaviour.

Dara Calleary: Subsection (3) provides "that a director of a company may have regard to the interests of a particular member of the company".

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Bill 2012: Committee Stage (5 Nov 2013)

Dara Calleary: I have a quick question on the definition of shares. My understanding is that the definition of shares in section 306(5) applies to shares quoted on any securities or other markets referred to in section 1071.
