"financial year" has the meaning assigned to it by section 2 of the Companies Act, 1963 (No. 33 of 1966);

"the Minister" means the Minister for Enterprise and Employment.

3. Every insurance undertaking which holds an authorisation and whose head office is either established in the State or in another country which is not a Member State of the European Union shall, in respect of the financial year in which these Regulations are made (or subsequent financial year as the Minister may direct) and in each succeeding financial year produce to the Minister an annual account covering the types of operation specified in the Schedule to these Regulations or such part of that Schedule as the Minister may from time to time direct.

4. The forms set out in the Schedule to these Regulations are in substitution for the forms of accounts specified in the Insurance Acts, 1909 to 1990, insofar as those accounts relate to an insurance undertaking which holds an authorisation.

5.
