This something that is ealily overlooked by many site owners and the importance of the Domain Name "Country Code" to your website rankings, traffic and consequent success.
The problem here is the "location" of search - the way in which the major search engines have split their indexes up into country-specific search opportunities. Google (and other SE's) know where you are, or where you should be associated with, by either the Country Code (.ie) or the IP address allocated to your site. IP addresses are allocated in numeric blocks or ranges, by country.
