I finally got my hands on a copy of last fridays Irish Times, but I cant 
find this article... am I missing the obvious or just being stupid 
here???  Is this article in last fridays Times at all, and if so what 
section is it in?  Or, if anyone with an Irish Times online subscription 
would like to do their good deed for the day and email me...

Also, does anyone have any contacts in Beaumont or know anyone who might 
be willing to talk to me about this?  (I have tried Tony Kenny a few 
times with no success).  As some of you might know, I'm currently doing 
an MBS thesis on the adoption of OSS in Irish organisations, and this 
would be an extremely useful addition to my research.  (note: total and 
absolute discretion assured... please email me off list).
