Yes, it would be much preferable if Wikimedia Ireland could handle it themselves. I'm not too comfortable crossing borders like this, but it was a bit last minute and we didn't have any media contacts from Ireland to refer it to. Is there someone who would be able to do this in future?
It's "lunchtime on 4" so should be up there. It was on at about 1:42. Do you know how long it takes to get uploaded there?
Any comments gratefully received. Apart from being introduced as the "Secretary of Wikimedia" (they may have deliberately dropped UK to avoid highlighting that fact!) I think it went pretty well and gave a very positive impression - presenter certainly had a good opinion of the site.
