    If it's a generic .ie you shouldn't need to transfer the business name - if the purcahser is a registered co, or a sole-trader they should be able to register it.

    On Blacknight.com, when you search for a .ie, if it's taken there's an option to transfer it. I haven't completed the process but I noticed it this morning.

    It's not that simple

    It's a change of holder, so you'll need to follow the change of holder process:

    If the new holder does not qualify for the domain name then the transfer cannot be made
