Yep looks like the authorative DNSes for the ireland.com domain are unreachable. This means that the domain has effectively ceased to exist on the internet. Most of the mail destined for ireland.com addresses will probably have its deliver deferred. This does not look good for ireland.com as it is one of the busiest sites in Ireland.
