Since about 6:30am our systems have been unable to connect to IEDR to perform operations on .ie domain names, and .ie domains are currently showing as unavailable for registration in the store.

This appears to be an issue with IE Domain Registry systems as their site & console are currently down.

Until service is restored, it will not be possible to register, transfer or renew .ie domains or change name servers.

We will update when we have more information.

Update [11:30]

IEDR have restored connectivity to their systems.
