Is this one of those questions where you know the answer and are going to taunt us with it?

I suppose Ireland.com and entertainment.ie must be in there. I remember someone asked this exact question only a couple of months ago. The thread can be found here.

This actually reminds me of a question I was asked in work recently. A company was receiving "50,000 users a week" to their site, but were averaging just over one page-view per user. I took a look at their stats and they were counting hits as visitors. I don't think they were too happy when they found they were only getting a few hundred visits to their site a week - a lot of them coming from within their own office

It's impossible to tell, but, ignoring the ISP home pages, you can assume entertainment.ie, boards.ie, daft.ie, maybe p45.net, jobs.ie ?

I'm thinking ebay.ie and breakingnews.ie are two other possible candidates.

Do you have a link for that list? I checked the site, but it's lite on information to say the least: http://www.jnir.ie/. I thought that RyanAir would be there at least.

As far as I know they dont publish this list. We had to ask them directly for it.
Got it for free too

Cool, does it just do the top 10 or go further down? Also, does it say how they collect their information?

Just the top 10. The emphasis is on Irish websites and not websites viewed by irish computers. The figures are from Dec 04. No idea how the information is collected sorry.
