54 Mr. McGahon asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if a company which is dissolved by the Companies Office can be permitted to carry out a number of operations (details supplied). [32010/01]

A company that has been dissolved no longer legally exists. Accordingly, it cannot continue to trade or carry out the operations referred to by the Deputy. It would be a matter for the relevant authorities to introduce procedures to ensure that grant assistance, licences, etc, were not provided to a company that had ceased to exist.
