Compliance Ireland

Compliance Ireland was an Irish company which ran from 2004 to 2023. It was formally established in January 2004, but informally commenced in mid-2003. It was a private company, but uniquely it wrote on, and contributed to, numerous debates in Ireland about corporate governance and compliance on an independent basis. Compliance Ireland was frequently quoted in newspapers, and government reports,  television,  and radio.

Compliance Ireland has been both a measured critic and supporter of the Financial Regulator and Central Bank since the two entities were loosely joined in 2003 following a wide sweeping regulatory review commenced by Michael McDowell (former T.D, Minister for Justice and Tánaiste) in the late 1990s and published in 2001.

Compliance Ireland closed in February 2023.
