Change of Directors

If a director of an Irish company wishes to resign from his/her position, the director must send a letter of resignation to the company, notifying the company of his/her intention to resign. Sometimes the company will prepare this letter and include a clause stating that the director has no past and present claims against the company. The company must then make the required filings with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) within 14 days of the letter of resignation.

It is important to note that all companies, with the exception of the Private Limited Company (LTD) model, must have a minimum of two directors at any given time. The LTD company can have just one director, which must be a separate person to that of the secretary (can be a person or company).
