Mr. T. J. McIntyre:

Absolutely. In 2005, the Irish music industry brought an action against people it accused of uploading music. It obtained the IP addresses of those individuals. It then had to link those IP addresses to particular names and addresses. It decided to get a Norwich Pharmacal order, which is named after an English case from the 1970s. It went to the High Court and got an order from Mr. Justice Peter Kelly requiring the ISP - Eircom, in this case - to disclose the identities of the individuals in question. This approach has been used quite commonly since then. I recently counted the number of applications for Norwich Pharmacal orders that have been made in Ireland in recent years. We know of six or seven such applications that have been made in the last three years. The number is probably much greater because not all of them necessarily appear in the media. The jurisdiction of such orders is well established.
