The names of the known main shareholders would be usefull aswell, for us it Mr Garrett Kelleher 100% lock stock & barrel.
This came up on another thread. Thought it'd be interesting to gather up the info on each club's ownership, I've stuck in what I know, question marks where I'm not sure. Let me know what I haven't got or have wrong:
Athlone Town
Private ownership??
Bohemians
Members owned, annual fee
Bray Wanderers
Private ownership, multiple shareholders
Cabinteely

Cobh Ramblers
Current?? Moving to membership with annual fee.

Not sure Drogheda would be described as private ownership, a few years ago there was a fan ownership share issue at €1000 each. The type of ownership model is one vote per person regardless of number of shares owned.
Galway United is: GUST, Galway FA, Mervue, Salthill AND Galway Soccer co-op. Each has 2 members on 11-person board, the 11th being the chairperson who is no affiliated to any of those 5 groups
So effectively GUST now control 40%? (Assuming most co-op members are of a GUST persuasion)

Chapter and verse on 11 of PD clubs.

Bray - Bray Wanders Limited CRO 108824
Cork - Friends of the Rebel Army Society Limited RFS 5449R
Derry - Derry City Football Club Limited NI601341
Drogheda - Drogheda Utd FC Limited CRO 506239
Dundalk - Dundalk Town FC Limited CRO 519313
Galway - unsure at the moment
Limerick - Munster Football Club Limited CRO 131715
Longford - Domeford Limited CRO 450246
Shams - Shamrock Rovers FC Limited CRO 245954
Sligo - Sligo Football & Sports Development Society Limited RFS 4473R
St Pats - Newtonheath Company Limited CRO 189439
The above is per the latest filed returns. The above are the operating entities. In some cases the above entities are in turn owned by members' clubs eg Drogheda and Shams. Some are owned by private individuals, some by the members and some are co-ops.
Now, who can answer this - which PD club is, by default, owned by the Minister for Finance? the info is on the public record!

Short answer - No.
Cobh Ramblers moved back to a members run club
Ground ownership or capital assets should be a subset of this too maybe.
As far as I'm aware, Wexford Youths are owned by a company controlled by Mick Wallace, with Mick and Sasha Wallace being the directors.
Was going to say UCD owned by min for finance, but they not in PD. Cork?
Athlone are a members club
Might be an idea to put in membership / share fees as well. At Harps a share costs €317.50 (if you're wondering about the odd figure, it converted from £250 punts).
