From the above I gleen that if they are Irish nationals they can keep the .eu domain despite the fact that they reside in the UK.
DR> I shall be interested to see if they stop using their .eu domain as DR> from next month.
They probably won't but if I got it wrong, they have no choice in the matter. Their DNS provider has not other option than to discontinue the contract so that the domain becomes available for someone who qualifies for an .eu domain name...
DR> They do have other domains so it'll be no hardship. I would have DR> thought that they would have an .ie domain.
I suppose they would, just like I qualify for a .nl domain. But when I got around to it vlist.nl was already taken as wre some other interesting ones. So when vlist.eu became available, I knew what to do. ;-)

Maybe they speak French? ;-)

I know some people that have a place in Belgium that met with the same problem...

Smart move. Unfortunatyely that is not so easy here. It wil be considered a gift and gifts of that magnitude are taxed as well...

Good!

Sean is an airline pilot and so has a DR> "free" pass without Covid restrictions as long as it's for work. This DR> was part of a work journey as he was leaving the firm in France that DR> he worked for in October, so he flew over to Paris to "hand back the DR> keys" (as it were!), hired a car to get him to Normandy to visit the DR> house and back, and then flew on to Hungary to take up his new job.
So he is allowed to make a "detour" when he is working abroad without invalidating the "free pass" ?
DR> As far as the future of the ownership of the property is concerned, DR> nothing changes.
I hope you won't run into other restrictions after 1 januari...
DR> The news this morning that the Pfizer vaccine being approved in the UK DR> is most welcome
It was in the news here too. With some critical remarks from the experts who have doubts about the short cuts that may have been made. The EMA who is now reviewing the Pfizer vaccin says they will need three or four weeks in a best case scenario.
DR> (thanks Pfizer in Belgium, where it's being manufactured) and, as I'm DR> over eighty years old, I shall be one of the first in line to get it, DR> so I'm looking forward to resuming my visits to Le Mesnil Villement in DR> the New Year.
I am not that optimistic. I am 74 and here and in this case "old" is 70. But... since I do not have diabetis and although I have slight overweight, I do not qualify as obese and I have no other serious illnesses, I will only be second in line. Assuming that the vaccins first available are actually effective for people my age. They have not been massively tested on old people yet.
... So you can be the guinnee pig ...
I expect it will not be my turn before March. In a best case scenario...
