Irish businesses will be able to register .ie domain names that include fadas later this year, says the IE Domain Registry (IEDR), the company that manages the domain.
This policy change will allow companies to register a .ie domain including á, é, í, ó and ú.
IEDR is currently conducting a public consultation process and is asking interested parties to have their say before the 30-day process ends on 21 March.
The policy change and implementation basis have been prepared and recommended by ie’s Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), the forum through which advice and counsel of industry stakeholders is provided.
Details of when fada .ie domains will be available and how businesses can register their domains will be confirmed on completion of the public consultation.
David Curtin, chief executive, IEDR, said: “This is the week we celebrate our National Holiday and our sense of and pride in being Irish. Our language is a key part of that identity and something which distinguishes us from every other country. In the week of Seachtain na Gaeilge also, making fada .ie domain names available will now provide a further opportunity for us to showcase that identity to a global online community. Just like .ie domain names, fada .ie domain names will allow businesses to communicate trust, familiarity and Irish authenticity.”
