Ireland is to implement the EU Directive on shareholders rights, which dates from July 2007. Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan, in the latest publicity announcement, as a stand-in for the Taoiseach, who is on holidays, said she will today "sign into Irish law" the Directive that should make it easier for shareholders of stock market companies to hold management to account and have their say about the way the businesses are run.
