Company Email Via Google Docs

Consider the scenario, you have a company domain name, like yourcompany.com and you've got your email address(es) on this eg you@yourcompany.com etc. To get your emails you either use a client ( Microsoft office, Euroda, Thunderbird, etc ) or use webmail. The main problem with using a client is that your mail must be on one and only one computer, (except in the case of relativly expensive exchange servers where your mail is usually limited to computers within your business) ...... so if you want to get your mail in an internet cafe, or share mail between the desktop that you use at home and the netbook that you use when travelling, things can get slightly complicated. The obvious answer is to switch to using webmail, but there are problems here as well, the biggest of which is that you are limited to the space available on your web server, which is usuallyHelp - Someone already has my domain.

Domain name : dot.com or dot.ie

Dot com domains are less than half the price of dot IE domains so why would you go for a dot ie.
If you have a choice between the two then it really comes down to branding. You are saying you have a uniquely Irish product. It also adds a little extra class to your site and reassures people that you are Irish.
Domain names demystified.

Basically a Domain Name is a name which points to a website. So for instance www.mywebsite.com or www.yourwebpage.ie etc. The www part of the website is standard but sometimes there may be 'Subdomains' e.g. shop.yourwebsite.com or forum.mywebsite.ie. The holder of the registered domain mywebsite.com would have sole rights to use any subdomains and this would be worked out with their hosting company. Similarly they could set up email addresses on this domain -- me@mywebsite.ie, info@mywebsite.ie, your.name@yourwebsite.com, etc.
