.irish FAQ

The .irish name will create an exclusive presence for the Irish culture on the internet. Dot-Irish LLC is campaigning for this new top-level domain because the proposed .irish name extension will enable the worldwide collection of people claiming Irish heritage to come together under a common domain. The word "Irish" represents a brand, a culture, but most importantly a dispersed people — one that has developed over hundreds of years. The Dot-Irish campaign is a new way to employ the synergy and common identity shared by these people — over 75 million worldwide, dwelling in the Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and mainland Europe. Given political and economic histories, the Irish people maintain a constellation that is strong both in terms of identity and number. Today, there is no broadly recognized Internet domain name for the Irish people.
