'''B'''. I can't support "A" as the England, Scotland and Wales articles all have the UK's TLD. As an aside, I do love the attempts from the posters above to shut down any discussion that might change a status quo they're in favour of. How long before someone whips out the "drop the stick, back away from the dead horse" quip? We've already had "bordering on disruption"... <font color="#004225">—</font> [[User:Jon C.|<font color="#004225">Jon C.</font>]][[User_talk:Jon C.|<sup><b><font color="#F28500">ॐ</font></b></sup>]] 11:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
'''B''' - Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, ".uk" is Northern Ireland's only country code top-level domain. ".ie" is the country code top-level domain of the republic of Ireland. It is misleading, inaccurate and offensive to include ".ie" which implies Northern Ireland is part of the Republic of Ireland. The key is in the name " country code top-level domain", the UK is a country, ROI is a country, under some definitions NI is a country.. but the island of Ireland is NOT a country and it does not have a " country code top-level domain".
