The Companies Bill 2012 represents the largest substantive Bill in the history of the State. The Bill consolidates the existing 16 Companies Acts, which date from 1963 to 2012, into one Act and it also introduces a number of reforms which make it easier to operate a company in Ireland. The Bill passed Second Stage in the Dail on 25 April 2013 and Committee Stage is expected to be taken shortly.
