			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The IE Domain Registry has confirmed that there was a record number of dot-ie domains registered in 2009.</strong></p>
<p>A total of 37,055 domains were registered during the year, which is an 8 percent increase on 2008 figures. There are now a total of 136,000 dot-ie domains registrations.</p>
<p>The fourth quarter of 2009 saw a total of 8,533 new registrations in October and December, representing a 11.5 percent rise on last year.</p>
<p>IEDR Chief Executive David Curtin said: &#8220;It is more encouraging still to report that overall, 2009 was our strongest year ever for .ie registrations; an 8 per cent increase on last year’s figure is significant against the backdrop of economic difficulty for businesses and consumers everywhere&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is important that Irish entrepreneurs now recognise and seize opportunities for growth online.&#8221;</p>
