This is something that interests us a lot, to actually see the top used and visited websites from within Ireland. It comes as no surprise to see the big search engines and social media players there. I find it interesting that Linkedin is now more popular than Twitter. That should change the course of how companies divide their time between these platforms. It is also interesting that a buy and sell website is more popular than the closest newspaper website.
Stats are taken from Alexa.com on the 3rd October 2014, and reflect the most visited websites in Ireland during that period.
