Marion Gunn ([email protected]) asked me to put something like

As that file was copyrighted I suggested that the information might be put
into a seperate file and thats how this came about.
This file attempts to bring to gether information on what is available out
there on the INTERNET/EARN/BITET/etc. of Irish Interest. If there is any
thing else I left out that should be included, please contact me at:

| For those interested...
TOPPSI, the first one on the list, is primarily a community services
operation called PATCH. The bulletin board grew out of that.
It carries a lot of Irish interest stuff, incl cultural and language
forums.
Rgds........Gerry
By the way, related to this; There are now a number of Compuserve
access points in Ireland via Info-Net Euro-Connect. The best way to
find the neasest access point is to ring the UK CompuServe voice
number.
