How did the Irish Examiner USA cover BuyIreland.com?
The Irish Examiner USA — the American edition of one of Ireland's oldest newspapers — covered a BuyIreland.com presentation at a gathering of the Irish Business Organization in New York City.
In their "Out & About" column, the writer described attending the event:
"I was across the street first in Rosie O'Grady's on 46th to meet Ed Dowling and the IBO's 1st Vice-President Sheila Lynott and 2nd Vice-President Gregory McIntyre as we were all invited at a lecture on buying a little bit of Ireland for only $49.99 for one square foot!"
"I am not kidding you... a plot of land in rural Ireland... I know you're laughing, but it's true and there was about 30 people at this event held downstairs in Rosie's."
The article went on to note the buzz generated by the presentation: "I'm not sure who purchased what as I had to leave, but it was rumored that Sheila was very interested. I might have more on it next week when I get more information, alright! In the meantime you can check it out by going to the website: buyireland.com."
This coverage highlighted the grassroots appeal of BuyIreland.com within the Irish-American community in New York, one of the largest Irish diaspora populations in the world.
