    Checked this out further. It only happens with Firefox. IE and Chrome are ok.

    "pages from Ireland" shows in Firefox if i use iGoogle.

    This happens when i'm logged in and not logged in.

    I'll reinstall Firefox later to see if it clears the problem.

    You will only get "pages from Ireland" on the Irish page, no the UK one. google.com will typically divert to google.ie
