Breakfast Business with Enterprise Ireland on Newstalk.

Good morning and welcome to Breakfast Business.

Directors and senior officials with a company must currently publish their usual residential address with the company's registration office.

And thank you, as ever, to Shane Beattie.

It is Friday, the 5th of December at 6.30.

Coming up on today's show, we'll be talking to John Fingleton, the Irishman who is shaking up infrastructure development in Britain, and see what we can learn here.

But the government is worried that that may open the senior executives to abuse or even fraud.

And that's why it is consulting widely to see if the Companies Act needs to be changed to provide the public with a contact address in Ireland while keeping the residential details on file with the CRO.

And we'll be looking at the planned changes to the Companies Act and all the markets as usual.

You can email us, business at newstalk.com.

But first, let's have a look at the main business stories in the newspapers and websites, which we shall do in the smart and always on company.

But will that enable potential wrongdoing to be hidden from the public?

Niamh Smith is the Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise with special responsibility for trade promotion, artificial intelligence and digital transformation.

of Kate English, the Chief Economist with Deloitte.

Good morning, Kate.

You're glammed up.

You're heading to, I believe, the Moulin Rouge.

Good morning, Minister.

Tell us a little bit more about what is currently available to the public about company directors.
