Google.ie DNS was hacked (now fixed)

Unfortunately last year Google Ireland barely broke even. A tiny €24mil profit on a turnover of €12.5 BILLION [1]

Perhaps some charitable Irish taxpayer could sort their domain name out for them?

Not sure how that's relevant to this DNS issue?

Not sure if it's relevant but one of the major "DNS providers" (that preceded Google) also chooses to domicile their operations in Ireland. They could just as well locate anywhere, but I doubt they chose Ireland for tax purposes. That just wouldn't make sense, right?

Secondarily, the amount of internet services hosted in Dublin makes it a good spot to host DNS servers too.
