Google has been doing a pretty good job of figuring out non-hyphenated domains for a while now.

You have to ask yourself how many people do you think are going to actually type your domain's URL into a browser? I would venture that a website based on brown bread would probably get approx 75+ of its traffic from search engine keywords.

With that in mind I would personally go for brown-bread-ireland.com. I certainly wouldn't go for brownbread-ireland.com as it's neither here nor there, why have one hyphen and not two?

G used to play around with what went into the allinanchor calculations and I suspect domain names were one of them, and led to their popularity.

KWs in file names certainly were, I have pages that target "SEO widget" through internal links/anchor text but use search-engine-optimization-widget as the file name.

Quite suddenly and for about three months these pages started ranking for the full term and then just as suddenly disappeared again.

Y! still seems to like them, but these days I probably wouldn't bother using hyphens in domain names, they're a bit clunky for humans IMO....

I'm not that fond of them either but sometimes you don't have an alternative but to use hyphens.
