235. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will request of the Companies Registration Office to remove the inappropriate job description, married woman, from the list of occupations on the online form when registering online as a director of a company or charity; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by the Companies Registration Office (CRO) that the job description ‘Married Woman’ is a legacy item on an extensive list of occupations available on the online forms.

The CRO e-Filing systems have undergone a major modernisation in recent months. The new portal for the e-Filing system went live on Friday 23 January and modernised e-Forms will begin to be rolled out in the coming weeks. The updated list of occupations, which no longer includes the description ‘Married Woman’, will appear in the new e-Forms as they become available.
