What gets me is having to fax in stuff... I hate fax machines. I don’t mind the price so much, I’ve paid higher for some Asian domains. What gets me is having to fax in stuff… I hate fax machines.

You got there just ahead of me! :P Joking aside... I agree the domain pricing is high for .ie domains, but I think the high price goes some way to assist in the battle against squatting. In reality ANY domain can be registered here and this rubbish about IEDR requiring registrants to provide "additional information" is simply asking for a FAX stating that "we require this domain as we are launching a new product called xxxxx". I'd personally prefer higher domain pricing to keep domains available for people who genuinely need them. My two cents. :) Damn Joe…. You got there just ahead of me! :P
