When a new director is appointed to an Irish company, do they need a Digital Certificate?

Yes. A newly appointed director must apply for a Digital Certificate to interact with the CRO/Revenue systems. A fee applies, and the service is typically resold to the client at a marked-up rate.

What are the risks of leaving a company with a nominee director unattended (no accounting or tax filings, outdated registered address) for a long time?

If a company is left unmanaged for an extended period, the nominee director may submit a resignation letter to limit their exposure. Inaction can create legal and litigation risk, and once the company no longer has a resident (EU) director, it can no longer continue operating. Outstanding obligations — such as updating the registered address and bringing accounting and tax filings up to date — must be resolved to keep the company in good standing.
