B2B leads in Ireland. Start from the register.
International contact databases are built largely from websites and profiles, and many small and mid-size companies in Ireland barely show up in them. The official register has every company. Here is how to go from the register to a list you can work.
What Atlas holds for Ireland
Source: the Atlas database, updated automatically.
1. The official sources
- Companies Registration Office (CRO): company number, registered office, directors, status and filings, searchable on the CORE system.
- Register of Beneficial Ownership: the owners of Irish companies, with access restrictions.
- Industry codes follow NACE Rev. 2.
2. Define the segment
Use three coordinates the register can answer: the industry code, the region and the size. Add a reason to get in touch now, such as a newly registered company, a new director or a won public tender.
3. Remove closed companies
Check the company status in the CRO before contacting. Struck-off and dissolved companies remain searchable. Read more in our register audit.
4. Find the contact
The company's own website gives the contact page, the management and open jobs. Check that the website really belongs to the company, with the registration number or a distinguishing name on the page. Parked domains and pages of another company with a similar name are a common source of wrong data.
5. The rules for outreach
Irish ePrivacy rules allow email marketing to business addresses as long as you identify yourself and the recipient can opt out easily, but check the Data Protection Commission's current guidance, and note that the GDPR applies to named contacts.
This is a general overview, not legal advice.
How Atlas helps
Atlas searches companies by industry, region and registration date, and looks for the website, phone, email and decision-maker in public sources. The source is shown next to every piece of data, and if nothing is found the field stays empty. Coverage varies a lot by country, see the measured coverage page. Price: 600 euros for two months plus VAT, no credits.
