Is there a 'Guaranteed Irish' equivalent for websites

    So with money be moved to this country or that for tax purposes, and sites being able to claim locality with great ease, is there any kind of body or group that looks at websites and confirms that they are supplying jobs or value to Ireland and not trying to move their earnings for tax avoidance reasons to other territories.

    In particular I am buying books for college and would like to know that my money supports local economy.

    Try a local book shop maybe? Online trails are hard to hide, some sites with .ie addresses are not based here.

    Planning on doing that when I eventually am up in dublin, but would also be interested in there being one for when I am buying other items, be they for college or otherwise.

    If the site is an online version of a brick and mortor Irish store then you should be OK e.g. easons or kennys

    Yeah I was thinking that, thanks guys.

    It's kind of silly, Enterprise Ireland is doing a lot of good work to bring in jobs and encourage companies to invest in Ireland.
    At the same time there doesn't seem to be near as much done to encourage Irish consumers to circulate their money within the country.
