Where are the Irish sites?
I was looking at adding some more links to Armchair.ie this morning and so I thought I'd focus on a couple of sectors in particular.
Unless I'm blind there are no indigenous shoe shops selling online. There are plenty of big multinationals selling into the Irish market, but I couldn't find any Irish run solutions...
Is the market simply too small?

You know the way people have been ranting about the availability of broadband here? Well I think you're probably seeing some of the impact our backwards country is having - a clear lack of understanding when it comes to operating on-line.
Yes we are a small market, but we are aeons behind what's going on elsewhere.
But then again, this should mean opportunity for those with foresight to fill the gaps :)
