Ireland.net 2.0 is about to get organised.

Paul Walsh has taken up the challenge organising an independent body to represent the interests of Irish web based companies. He’s already got a couple of the local heavy hitters (Damien Mulley and Fergus Burns) on his side, and he’s done this before with the British Interactive Media Association, so he’s no enthusiastic novice.

It would be nice to have a body representing native industry for a change. The only companies in this industry getting any mind share from government are the foreign ones, who may provide lots of jobs and pay lots of taxes, but they take their profits home at the end of the day.

Ireland Inc. Let’s just do it!
