I looked at ELN many years ago. I was always worried about Irish equities because of the fluctuation of the Punt. Many times over the years I was welcomed in Ireland with the "Hail Fellow, Well Met" friendliness of the Irish. Last time I was there I was given a surcharge for having British Pounds....something never discussed when they took my money at even when the Pound was higher than the Punt. I travel in Canada quite often as well. The ethic is a bit more straight forward. So tell me, will the participation of the Irish in the European Community lend some stability to their currency and de-couple it from England's, in your view?

When I visited Ireland last year, I was impressed by the very inexpensive (for Europe) property values, contrasted with the rapid industrial and technology growth - looked like a good investment then, but I wasn't aware of the appropriate vehicle, short of buying a castle <G>. Do you have suggestions on how one might invest in the potential for appreciation of real estate in the technology/industrial corridors? Bob
