I had dedicated servers here and had to move they were so expensive. I've one shared hosting plan left and when this expires I'll be moving out too. Don't see any reason/value left in Irish hosting

Define expensive? You get what you pay for when it comes to dedicated / high end hosting.

Proper technical support might be a starting point

At the moment, I'm hosting in the U.S. just from a price advantage. I'm currently working on building my own site offering web design and seo services. I had wanted to go with blacknight and I will switch to them in the future but at startup stage, I got 5 accounts in the U.S which I can sell on to customers for what it would have cost me to host my own site here. There are disadvantages though, namely the support. The support only runs off a ticketing system, they offer no telephone support.

Out of curiosity, what are you paying?

I'm paying $245 for 5 reseller accounts with the following spec:

750GB space
7500GB monthly bandwidth.

There are some restrictions in the toc though, i.e. 5GB max for video files, 5GB for text files etc. so I'm not sure how it adds up to 750GB but it works fine for my sites, it wouldnt suit every type of client or project

I've read some great reviews about blacknight and their customer support is excellent, according to any reviews I'e read and heard from users.
Looking for a shared Hosting package, though, my current website, which I am looking to move to a new host, already uses approx 5 Gb space, and has a monthly transfer of 42Gb - traffic,

The highest Disk space package with Blacknight.ie seems to be their enterprise paqckage, at 2500Mb (2.5 Gb) (or 3gb for Linux) which is too small for my needs, and at €399 for the year, is not cheap either.

For a little site, lookiong for max 500Mb space, and 15Gb transfer limit, €30 for the year is difficult to beat - the Soho package.

For that kinda site I'd be going down the VPS route ...

VPS Starter - virtual servers - linux,debian,centos,ubuntu,windows

So that you can guarantee system performance to users.
