I think that this will be really good for the Irish economy but especially for the Irish Web Design and Development community. The aim is to get some 40% of Irish businesses (25k) online in the next 12 months with their own website, adwords, domain and hosting...(well you've read the Press Releases by now hopefully!)
Given that setting up a website and turning it into business can be quite complicated, I think that as these companies begin to appreciate what goes into a site and change their mindset, they'll see the commercial value in approaching a professional web designer. Certainly not all will. But its taken 12+ years to get 60% online - getting the rest online in such a short space of time should really create a lot of demand.
