    pretty sure you just need an irish passport and address to register a .ie. At least that's how it was a few years ago. Has that changed? I thought the business info is only for non-Irish nationals

    I think you'll find it's residency, rather than citizenship, that is necessary.

    Correct

    The actual policy talks about a "connection to Ireland" though the criteria is a bit different between private individuals and companies:

    I think it's just residence, rather than residency. I recall only having to provide proof-of-address.

    The ".ie" domain names are among the most controlled in the world.

    Agreed. I wouldn't mind only I seem to remember many moons ago when i was first starting in the online industry.

    The IEDR forgetting to renew their own domain name and losing it to domain squatters presumably.

    Am i remembering this correctly?

    Enterprise Ireland was a more notable drop.
    Old Hoster - New Hoster - Month - Zone Date - Transaction

    HOSTINGNET.COM UNIREGISTRYMARKET.LINK March 2016 2016-04-01 Transfer
    15X.NET HOSTINGNET.COM October 2008 2008-11-01 Transfer
    DIRECTSEEK.COM 15X.NET April 2002 2002-05-06 Transfer
    AMPSC.COM DIRECTSEEK.COM December 2002 2002-01-06 Transfer
    INDIGO.IE AMPSC.COM September-October 2001 2001-11-04 Transfer
    INDIGO.IE N/A December 2000 Epoch

    IEDR.COM also expired and was lost in April 2003 but it was recovered. It wasn't the primary brand domain name though.

    I could be wrong, but I advise you to ask for professional advice. Try to write to the support of hosting companies I think people are more qualified in this matter. Now such companies offer a wide range of services, I think they can help with this. I use such a company. You can try to find out.

    Mod edit - no hosting companies talk or links allowed.

    I went down the road of setting up a name with CRO, the RBN1 form etc. to register as irish version of my surname.

    That's all I used it for.

    I've forgotten about having the name with CRO for years now.

    Should I have been filing tax returns? The company name was only used to register a domain, it hasn't done anything since then.

    To answer my own question here in case someone else is searching.

    It's not an issue, but I needed an accountant to confirm this.
