Irish Politicians And Parties .eu Squatted?

Irish politicians and political parties may have lost their .eu domains to squatters. While the Irish government has previous experience with cybersquatters, some politicians and political parties may have had problems with .eu squatting.

Political parties Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein may have lost their .eu domains to squatters. High profile Irish politicians are also in the same mess. While Bertie Ahern’s domain bertieahern.eu was registered by the government, some of the other high profile mininsters were not so lucky. PD Minister for Justice Michael McDowell and Mary Harney both seem to have had their domains registered by someone else. Labour Party leader Pat Rabbitte seems to have some curious registration data on patrabbitte.eu - the organisation listed is the Irish Daily Star and the address given is that of Dail Eireann.

The London Times details other squatting problems that have dogged the bungled launch of .eu by the incompetent EUrid registry. Interestingly dublin.eu is also squatted.
