First of, hi everyone and thanks for reading my thread. I have looked at the requirements for registering a .ie at register365 and it's pretty clear to me that are strict requirements for registering an Irish domain. I'm wondering if there is any way possible for someone who isn't an Irish citizen, and doesn't conduct business in Ireland to apply for an .ie domain name.

I understand that are reasons for the stricter registration guidelines of .ie, but I'm left wondering if there are any possible means of satisfying these requirements, perhaps if I host the website with an Irish webhosting company that can help me register the domain.

Let me know if you think this is possible, although I am not holding my breath..
