    the website seems to have disappeared after not been updates for weeks.

    it was handy for irish tech news.

    any other good irish tech news sites?

    The news site has effectively gone away. They're focusing on a copywriting business now.
    You may know us as the publishers of ENN.ie, which I pioneered as one of the first Irish online news services in 1999. As Ralph has blogged more than once, journalism is facing its challenges, and we believe that news — as ENN has been publishing it — is too much of a commodity for us to compete in that space. Companies like Silicon Republic will continue to fill the news niche, but probably the future of journalism looks a lot more like Mark Little’s Storyful — quality, crowd-sourced content curated by skilled editors.

    It loads fine but the last news update is March 2011, they've ceased doing news.

    rss feed may be crap but to be honest its had ALOT less spin and marketing crap the siliconrepublic, used to be a very handy website
