The publication of people’s home addresses and other personally identifiable information is becoming a recurring theme across several public bodies: Revenue’s tax defaulters list, the Electoral Commission’s approach to candidates’ addresses, and now the CRO in relation to directors’ home addresses.
As discussed in yesterday’s Irish Times piece on the disclosure of directors’ addresses:

It is difficult to see, in the digital age, what purpose this serves beyond convenience and, in some cases, public shaming, rather than any clear or proportionate public interest.
