Adding .ie Domain History Information

The history of .ie domains seems to be something of a mystery. Some current registrants may well be unaware that their .ie domain even has a history. If your .ie domain is a generic term, then the chances are high that it has been registered before.
One feature that I was thinking of adding to the WhoisIreland.com site is a domain history for each .ie domain monitored. This site has been tracking domains since 2000 and it has built up a historical tracking record of each domain in .com/net/org/biz/info/ie (BIONIC). Some .ie domains are quickly reregistered and it seems that Google has problems detecting any difference. But then ccTLDs are a world away from the simplicity of gTLDs.
