Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 October 2005
116 Mr. O’Shea asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources his views on the cost of the .ie domain; the current poor take-up rate of the .ie domain; and his plans to reform the regulation of the .ie domain; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27874/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe management of the .ie domain name is carried out by IE Domain Name Registry Limited. It is responsible for the setting of the fees and for the day-to-day management of all aspects of the administration of the registry. The registry recently announced that it has over 50,000 customers.
In relation to the regulation of the .ie domain name, I propose to bring proposals to the Houses of the Oireachtas in the forthcoming electronic communications (miscellaneous provisions) Bill.
