The post.ie, coop.ie and aero.ie domains will go on sale for the first time from 8 May, .IE, the company responsible for managing Ireland’s country domain name has announced.
In the initial “Sunrise Phase” from 8 May–6 June 2019, qualifying trademark holders will be given the chance to register the names.
Domains that are still available after this phase will be made available to members of the general public who meet the standard .ie registration criteria. This phase will provisionally commence on 19 July and remain open for 30 days.
