Well that's the thing.
The rules apply to the name only - which makes perfect sense

However, when they have a subjective rule, such as that one, it becomes very iffy.

And now ICANN has voted against .xxx ........
*sigh*

I've been trying for ages as well (most recently this morning). I have also tried for pornography.ie

What happens if you register a business name like "Paddy O Reilly Nightclubs" with the CRO and then apply to the IEDR?

I may try the expletives at some point, though I don't have any real interest in registering them..

If I wasn't busy I'd probably put together a list of potentially contentious domain names to register and see which ones would get through

If your name isn't Paddy O'Reilly they probably just reject it...

You could try it if you wanted, but that's hardly the point

But it could be. If an acronym of a genuine business is considered "undesirable" will they refuse to register it? Would not the "Carlow Union of Network Technologists" have a right to complain?

They'd probably fob and say that a more "acceptable" alternative was available....
