I am trying to register a site in Ireland with ie, In Greece with gr. Does anyone register names in all countries?

I know this probably sounded like a silly question. But in the last week I have attempted to register domains in Greece, Singapore and Ireland with no success. Either my info was not accepted or the site is available one moment and not the next.

The oddest problem is in Ireland. You have to be phyically located in Ireland to register for a "ie" domain. Does anyone know a way around this?

certain domains are for residents only or for people with an established business presence in that country. Not aware of any legitimate way of getting around the registration criteria.
