Thanks, Stephen. It appears from the whois that somebody else has registered the domain until August 2015.
There will be no specific release of 4.0 versions in Ireland as they are international – see this extract from the CC site:
What if CC licenses have not been ported to my jurisdiction?
All CC licenses are intended to work worldwide. Unless you have a specific reason to use a ported
license, we suggest you consider using one of the international licenses. 4.0 will support official translations of the international license for those who wish to use the licenses in another language.
As of version 4.0, CC is discouraging ported versions, and has placed a hold on new porting projects following its publication until sometime in 2014. At that point, CC will re-evaluate
the necessity of porting in the future.
Should I choose an international license or a ported license?
We recommend that you use a version 4.0 international license. This is the most up-to-date version of our licenses, drafted after broad consultation with our global network of affiliates,
and it has been written to be internationally valid. There are currently no ports of
4.0, and it is planned that few, if any, will be created. All the best, Darius Dr Darius Whelan, Faculty of Law, University College Cork, Ireland Tel. +353 21 490 3452

On Behalf Of Stephen Judge Hi Darius, Just to let you know I released the
creativecommons.ie domain name a while ago so it is now free to be registered by anyone. Given the very Irish nature of the domain name and the sense of credibility it would give to Creative Commons Ireland, I would strongly
suggest you go ahead and register the domain. As Creative Commons Ireland is affiliated with Creative Commons International which is a 501(3)c Non-Profit in the U.S., the IE Domain Registry will often accept this as recognition of a charitable organisation
in Ireland and you will therefore be able to register the domain for free. I had this exact experience when registering a .IE domain for a charity in Ireland that was affiliated with a registered charity in the U.K., I just had to get a letter from that charity
confirming I was affiliated with them and then the IE Domain Registry allowed me to register my chosen .IE domain for free. I look forward to future development of Creative Commons in Ireland. Will we see the 4.0 versions of the licenses released in Ireland? Regards,
