    Hi bizzyb

    quick answer is yes you can register a business name in Ireland thats the same name as a business name in the Uk. Do a search on the CRO website to see are there any other businesses trading in Ireland using the same name as two business can have the same registered business name.

    But before you register a business name I would check that the domain name you are looking for is available as the business in the uk can register a .ie domain name once it meets certain conditions.

    I'm in this same situation at the moment. Can someone confirm the answer above is true?

    I thought of a business name but found very small limited company in the UK using the name (just with a "The" in the front). They're in a completely unrelated field to mine and I do have the .com purchased.
