PAC Election

We are delighted that the channel elected Leanne Kenny (MarkMonitor), Michele Neylon (Blacknight) and Will Harrison (Hosting Ireland) as their PAC Registrar representatives. We are sure they will be valuable (re)additions to the Committee membership, and we look forward to working with the representatives over the coming term.

NIS2

Ireland, along with many other Member States, missed the deadline to transpose NIS2 into national law by 17 October 2024.  To date, there is no word on when we can expect transposition. We are continuing to collaborate with partners, especially government officials and other European ccTLDs, to ensure that it is transposed in a way that minimises the regulatory burden on Registrars. We are currently waiting for more information on how NIS2 will be transposed in Ireland. If you have any queries regarding NIS2 requirements, please do not hesitate to contact dmcdermott@weare.ie.
