Sure didn’t they use Czech explosives, Russian guns and eastern european grenade launchers? In fairness, all this bullshit about buying Irish is nonsense. Who cares where their servers are? If Irish hosting companies fail to make a sale, that’s their tough.

I made a post about the 'Daily Ireland' and this practice a while back. For the record they still haven't replied to my letter.

A geolocate on the IP for the server is telling me it’s based in Holland:

Not sure about the actual server, but I’m 99% certain that Anu was a Mayo company before anything else.

I just went by the address ANU Internet Services Ltd, St Brandon’s House, 29 Great George St, Bristol BS1 5QT, UK.

But maybe the server is in Westport.

I have a feeling that Anu (which hosts Labour’s site) is an Irish company, based in Westport I think. They are about for years.

My own website is hosted in the UK; it’s hosted on a virtual account on a dedicated server I have for work.

Well the company that hosts Labours has offices in Ireland I believe so the serve may actually be in Ireland and employing Irish people.
The Sinn Fein server is in America with no connection I can find to Ireland. At least the Labour one could be said to be supporting Irish jobs. Also the Sinn Fein Website system is maintained by a guy in West virginea. The system can be seen at http://www.phoenix2016.com

But if Labour party are guilty of the same crime, why did sinn fein get the headline?
