The Ireland.com domain has been sold by the Irish Times as part of a deal to Tourism Ireland (a government backed tourism organisation) for 495K Euro.
[irishtimes.com...]
Now if the Irish Times can only find a buyer for myhome.ie, the property portal for which it paid over 50 million Euro at the peak of the property bubble... :)

Ireland.com 495K Euro.<= cheap
myhome.ie, the property portal for which it paid over 50 million Euro<= you wouldn't want to be sending Ms Donovan to the shop with your credit card, for a half pound of butter and a packet of tea..

Well at least they got rid of O'Donovan, Kennedy and Ireland.com. :) But they made money on the domain sale. Not sure how much they lost on the Ireland.com portal effort though.

I like the move. Not inexpensive but not overpriced AND likely to pay dividends for years to come (ease of memory, logical address to check, etc.) while saving €€€ that would otherwise have to be spent on promoting Tourism Ireland's "other" Web address, etc.
