Directorship: Public knowledge?

Quick question guys,

I did a search on a name from the past & one of the first results was a "business intelligence" site listing a number of directorships in (person)'s name. Person's age was listed, so I'm confident it was him.

1. Is the directorship of a company public knowledge? And if so, where is this information kept?

2. How is the person's age involved? Is it legal to list someone's age in relation to this?

Do a search on http://www.solocheck.ie/ - box on the right hand side.

It will give you the directors name if you search a company, if you search the name it will give you the directorships they have and an age range.

That's grand, but I'm wondering where do these folks get their information from? For some reason the guy I'm looking up didn't do social media (fair enough, wants to keep private), so one of the 1st results was this directorship listing. I'm wondering where on the public domain does the information reside? Is it company register? Filed accounts of a PLC? What?

You willl need to pay small fee to get detailed information.

When someone is appointed as a director of a company a Form B10 is filed with the Company Registrations Office.

This form contains the name, residential address and date of birth of the director.

It is a matter of public record and can be accessed by anyone.

You must be over 18 years old to be a company director thus age is also important.

The simplest way to identify people of similar name is by date of birth.
