I wil try to compile a list of useful Irish websites. When we have a good list of sites, I will figure out the best way to layout the information. Please add sites as you come across them and I will incorporate them if they meet most of the following guidelines:

Irish
Useful reference type information
Lots of useful information - not new sites or sites with little content
Non-financial (for this thread)
Kept up to date
Free access
Free registration
Easy to use
Minimal or no advertising
Discussion board for asking questions

Please do not suggest:
Commercial sites of which there are many in the same industry e.g. jobs, houses or cars


Very specialist sites e.g. military history

Re: Useful Irish websites

"Useful Irish websites" that are "not too specialist" is very vague. You might be better off imposing some form of categorisation on the list.
 
Hi ClubMan

At this stage, it is going to be vague. We will see what sites are suggested and then work out how to categorize them.

We might have two separate threads - Widespread interest and Specialised interest.

Migration.ie provide advice on migration, working holiday and tourist visas for Australia and New Zealand, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Russia, UK, Ireland.
Click to expand...

This is a commercial site.

www.immigrant.ie is a free discussion site
 
irishheart.ie seems very specific - how about irishhealth.com as an alternative in this market.
 
Hi Marion

How do choose which of the many food review sites to include?

CC - thanks for pointing that out. I have deleted both sites. immigrant.ie is too small a site. Very little discussion on it.
 
www.met.ie Met Eireann. Handy 3-day forecast.
www.fas.ie Free for job seekers and employers to post jobs and good info for reasonable training courses nationwide. Don't know if it fully qualifies.
 
sorry for formatting in above post, Im having trouble with the AAM editor recently with directional arrows, icons and pre-post formatting not working. e.g. If I click on edit in the above post, I get html tags in the post. hmmm.
 
Not sure whether it meets all criteria (you can pay a subscription fee and there is a lot of advertising, but it's a widely used resource and chat forum among us Bridezillas):

www.weddingsonline.ie
