May be you want to read this so you come prepared
Q.15 I am not an EU citizen. What must I do before starting a business in Ireland?
A non-EU resident who plans to establish a business in Ireland must apply to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform with:
• Evidence to satisfy the Department that he/she has sufficient funding available.
• A business plan.
• Details of professional or trade qualifications, where these are relevant to the proposed business.
• A "certificate of character" from the police authority in their home state, to confirm that they do not have a criminal record, etc.
In addition, the proposed business must employ at least two non-family members, who must be Irish or EU nationals. Work permits are not required for non-EU nationals who establish a business, though they may be required for any staff who move with the business.

: Hello,
: I am going to be leaving for Ireland in a
: little less than a month. Here is my
: situation. I am not an Irish citizen, nor
: are either of my parents or grandparents.
: So, because I am unable to claim
: citizenship, I am planning on starting a
: homebased bakery/cooking school while I am
: there. I've been reading some of the posts
: on the complexities of trying to find a way
: to legally work and stay in Ireland, so I am
: thinking that this will be the best way for
: me. Has anyone ever done something like
: this? (started up a business from scratch in
: Ireland?) Or, do you know if this is even
: possible? I will be there for 6 weeks, and
: I have friends over there who are going to
: be doing all that they can to help me file
: the necessary forms and meet the right
: people so that I can get this thing off the
: ground. Do you think that I am basically
: looking at failure here, or is there any
: possibility that this can be done? Any help
: and advice that anyone out there can give
: will be very much appreciated!
