The management of the .ie domain name is carried out by IE Domain Name Registry Limited, the IEDR. It is responsible for the day-to-day management of all aspects of the administration of the registry including dealing with resellers. The registry has recently announced on its website that it has over 59,000 customers.

Regarding the regulation of the .ie domain name, the Minister proposes bringing proposals to the Houses of the Oireachtas in the forthcoming Electronic Communications (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.
