The internet in Ireland is 20 years old today! As Facebook � just a baby at eight � hurtles towards one of the most momentous IPOs in tech industry history, it almost went unobserved today that the internet as we know it in Ireland, at least, is 20 years old today. Ireland's first ISP Ireland On-Line was formed out of Barry Flanagan's house in Galway on 15 May 1992. Flanagan, as he outlines in his blog, had no working capital except his credit card and nine months worth of dreams.
