The Internet, which comprises more than one billion websites, is a wonderful source of information - but, as anyone who has searched for the websites of Irish companies or organisations knows, it is US-dominated, and finding Irish content via search engines can be frustrating. This impressively comprehensive, easy-to-use directory takes the effort out of locating reputable sites of Irish interest - from Wild Ireland to the ESB. Divided into sections, such as arts and entertainment; food and drink; sport; children; travel; and help; and with a detailed index for searching for organisations by name, the 6,000 websites listed also include useful British and US sites, such as those of big companies, musicians and tourist attractions. In the next edition, it would be useful to list a website's country of origin (because not all Irish sites use the ie domain - some use com). And - unlike other web directories - this incredibly indispensable book is small enough to fit into a pocket.
