We're involved in a local issue about a waste incinerator and it has electronic and election undertones. The activisim involves snapping up the domain name http://www.treasuryholdings.com and using it as a doorway page in a group campaign against a Treasury Holdings-backed waste facility project.
The Irish Times carries the story, revealing that Mr Tim Kirby, a Lusk website developer who is running the campaign, discovered the Treasuryholdings.com domain name was available while doing research on the company. He then paid the $37 (€40) annual fee to obtain the rights to the name.
I listened to several phone conversations with people from Treasury Holdings where they whined about forgetting to renew the registration on the domain name. The company's web developers should be called into question about this error.
So, now http://www.LuskPeople.com have the Treasuryholdings.com domain to mirror community information, providing a range of information on the Lusk area. As could be expected, many in the small agricultural community are against against incinerators, running a No Incinerators in Lusk (NIL) stance. ++++++++++
