Thread: Want an ie domain but not currently living in ireland

Hi,
Hoping someone can advise me! I want to set up a website/blog with an ie domain. I'm irish but living in the US since last year.
Firstly I'm wondering can I register a company name and just use my home family address in Ireland?
Secondly I'm hoping when I get enough content together that eventually I might be able to use Adsense or similar and take in some earnings from the site. In that case do I also need to be set up as a sole trader in Ireland? Is that a necessity if I have an irish company name? Or can I just deal with earnings and tax here in the US while I am here, and set up the irish tax thing when I'm resident in Ireland again? If I'm going to land myself in a tricky tax situation would I be better not registering a company name and apply for a .IE under the discretionary conditions?
Any thoughts very much appreciated!
Kate
