There is no requirement on EEA nationals to obtain the permission of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform in order to operate a business in the State. Accordingly the statistical information sought by the Deputy is not in existence.
Citizens of member states of the EEA — other than European Union (EU) citizens — are subject to the European Communities (Aliens) Regulations 1977 (S.I. No. 393 of 1977) and the European Communities (Right of Residence for Non-Economically Active Persons) Regulations 1997 (S.I. No. 57 of 1997). EU citizens are subject to the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) (No. 2) Regulations 2006.
