[This seems like an overreaction. Apparently a web hosting company was afraid that providing web space to an pro-IRA online radio station might get said company in trouble. So it pulled the plug.

Thank you for contacting me about www.IRAradio.com - it is people like you that make our sites strong. After talking with our board and working with the ISP's it looks like IRAradio.com will be re-opened again as soon as we get moved into our new office later on this year. We may be moveing the site to Canada servers. Until then, be sure to sign up for the news list at www.IRAradio.com so you know when the site goes back up.
