Example prompt: Can you look up the Irish company registration details for 'Accenture Ireland' — search by name and give me their CRO number, registered address, and current status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up Irish company registration data specifically from the CRO (Companies Registration Office). Ideal for due diligence, business verification, or enriching contact/company records with official Irish corporate data. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, authoritative registry data for Irish entities.

## Known failure modes

- CRO number not found — company does not exist in the register
- Fuzzy name search returns no matches or ambiguous results
- Invalid CRO number format (must be 5-6 digits)
- Company data temporarily unavailable due to CRO source downtime
- Multiple companies match the fuzzy name, requiring disambiguation
