They only give out domains in line with very strict policies and generally require a lot of documentation before approving a domain. Anyhow, I was very miffed with the IEDR for not serving anyone but business and government properly. Individuals could not register their name but were instead only entitled to two initials and a number. Needless to say I made it my mission to find a loop-hole and did.

Today, for the first time, regular people have the right to register <code>.ie<\/code> domains. That&#8217;s right, after many years the IEDR has finally seen sense.
