Kirstin has admirably summarized the situation. But, you also need to know that it usually takes months for a business plan to be approved.
And, the types of business plans they're most likely to grant approval involve high tech/medical etc. If you are an established business with tax records, bank manager recommendations, and an accountant's recommendation of your business plan then you'll stand a much better chance.
Hopefully you're already doing something similar in the US. If so, that will stand by you so get that paperwork together.

: thanks for your reply Ariel! That helps a

: 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!
