That's a lot, given a population of 5 million and maybe 3 million adults.

That's right.

We have about 63 domains per 100,000 of population.

So we're the same as France and Italy, approximately.

Nowhere near the UK.

It is, and there's three main reasons.

So whenever there's an application for a .ie domain name, we check out the identity of the person or the company that's making the application.

Do they have to give a passport or prove who they are?

They're proving their identity, and they're also showing that they have a connection to Ireland.

But secondly, post-registration.

So we monitor for phishing exploits, and if it's found...

Fishing with a PH, obviously.

With a PH, yes.

So malware and so on online.

But if that's found, then we notify the business owner, but we also notify their hosting provider so they can take action.

And then the third thing we do is we have protocols in place with the regulators.

So if they're responsible for consumer protection, they can notify us.

It's mainly CCPC, it's the Central Bank, believe it or not, it's Comreg and the Medicines Board, it's HPRA.

If someone is selling pharmaceuticals online that they shouldn't be?

Or if there's loan sharks that are not authorised, I shouldn't call them loan sharks, but if they're not authorised by the Central Bank.
