Do you need to do your exams in the country u want to be based in?

I'm pretty confused now. I was under the impression that you must complete the ATPL Theory and the CPL in the ONE member state and the rest can be completed in different member states.

I think this is due to the fact that the ATPL and CPL are licence and the rest are ratings.

So let say you do the ATPL and CPL in the UK and return to Ireland to do the ME, IR and MCC.
