Search Ireland’s CRO company register by name prefix, optionally filtered by status.

Tool description as the model sees it

Search Ireland’s company register (CRO — the Companies Registration Office) by the start of a company’s current registered name. Returns each match’s CRO number, name, status (e.g. Normal/Dissolved/Liquidation), type, registered address and incorporation date. Matches by name prefix (“Ryanair” finds “RYANAIR DESIGNATED ACTIVITY COMPANY” but not “Jet2Ryanair”), and is tolerant of case, punctuation, ”&” vs “and” and the legal-form suffix: “Roadstone Ltd”, “Roadstone Limited” and “ROADSTONE LTD.” all find the same company, and “DAC”/“Designated Activity Company”, “PLC”, “CLG”, “UC”, “Teoranta” are treated alike. If the name as typed misses, it falls back to the name without its suffix. Each result carries match = exact | legal_form_variant | name_prefix, ranked in that order. An empty result carries empty_reason “no_match_in_register” and register_searched true: the register was searched. Use the returned cro_number with ie_get_company for full detail or ie_get_filings for its filing history.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	yes	Start of the company’s current registered name, e.g. “Ryanair”.
`status`	string	no	Filter to one of the register’s own status TEXT values, e.g. “Normal” or “Dissolved” (case-sensitive, as the CRO publishes it). Omit to search across every status.
`limit`	number	no	Maximum results (1-100, default 20).
