Ms Br?d O'Connell:

For clarity, I am not speaking on behalf of the .ie domain provider. We have a .ie domain name. Legislation has changed in the sense that being connected to Ireland is now integral to having a .ie domain name. This came up at our tech conference yesterday. There is an onus on all of us, when we are making a purchase, to do our research. It is very complicated out there and there are so many layers. There is no question about that. However, as with Guaranteed Irish, .ie does not mean exclusively made in Ireland, shall we say. However, it has to be connected to Ireland. That is really all I can say on the issue because it would be wrong for me to speak on the provider's behalf. It is a case of buyer beware.
