The Deputy will be aware that the principle of the single market as espoused in the Single European Act, is supported by four freedoms that each member state must provide to its citizens and to those of other member states. Those four freedoms are free movement of people, goods, services and capital. There is no requirement on a company operating within the single market to establish a "Republic of Ireland entity" in order to operate within this jurisdiction.
