Remind us of the hoops that they make people jump through to obtain one of their supposedly "safe" domains? Why not open access to the domain and leave the squabbling to the courts when necessary? It's a typically Irish solution, viz, wrap everything up in pointless beaurocracy and charge over the odds for it. Nobody wins (perhaps not even the IEDR!)

If the IEDR’s revenue from domains dropped by 2%, how come they had a 15% drop in profits? The crap from Curtin about .ie being a safe domain is a bit of a joke when certain non-Irish companies are squatting on dozens of lucrative generic domain names." - Damien, I had a fairly comprehensive interview with Mr Curtin on Monday more of which will be featured on Friday's technology pages in the Times. He touched on all of these issues and I'll be discussing them then. “Hang on. If the IEDR’s revenue from domains dropped by 2%, how come they had a 15% drop in profits?
