NI "Business" operating in Republic, Fake Company Name

Hi folks

What would happen if a business in Northern Ireland was operating in the Republic but under a name XYZ Limited that doesn't exist?

They are using the name XYZ Limited on their website, communications etc but the company ZYX Limited is not registered as a company.

Also they are not charging UK vat in the Republic (They operate Business to Consumer, Not B2B)

Does this fall under the Republic of Ireland or the UK laws?

Checked Companies house and nothing on there for all UK, definitely not an offshore business
