Matched by name and legal form: how, exactly?

Published name "William Fry" has no legal form. "WILLIAM FRY LIMITED" (CRO 347619) is the only CRO company with that name plus any legal form (Limited, DAC, UC, CLG, PLC or Teoranta). Confirm against the CRO record before relying on it.

Appearing in other records is not a finding. Politicians declare interests as the law requires, and lobbyists file returns as the law requires.
