Ireland has a long, intereesting history in the tech space - before YC, there were a ton of startup incubation strategies occuring in silicon valley - and the irish national tech council or whatever they were called were luring tech companies to ireland... (recall Delorian Motor Cars)<p>Many FAANGS have built out there - and I can only assume that the laws re data in .ie are likely "bribable" and given its status in basically 5-eyes - I would assume ireland is a privacy nightmare when you get down to brass tacks.
