Ironically not including leave.eu - the instigators behind the entire process. Their domain is registered by a company in Ireland.

well Ireland (Republic of) is still part of the EU so technically it makes sense EDIT seems like I'm down voted for pointing the obvious since the registar is indeed in Ireland... HN being more political than usual?

  I didn't downvote, but your wording is a bit weird: > still part of the EU It seems that you might be implying that leaving the EU is something natural/desirable/inevitable for Ireland

    Maybe(?) But I'm pretty sure if I've written "Germany is still part of the EU" I wouldn't get any down votes In any case the still was nothing more than to highlight that IE is part of the EU while UK is not anymore

  The point was that "Leave EU" - a group dedicated to leaving the EU and removing the rights of UK people to register a .eu domain - has itself got an eu domain which is unaffected by the leave process because it's registered via an EU company. Perhaps "hypocritically" rather than "ironically" may have been more accurate, but certainly would have been more political. To be honest I can't think of any other .eu domains other than leave.eu.
