"Liam Ferrie, founder of the Irish Emigrant, is one of Ireland's earliest and most successful commercial users of the Internet."
Irish Examiner, July 6, 2001. Anna Nolan |
"He had 'first mover advantage', 'mind share' and any number of dotcom advantages, but Liam Ferrie has stayed in business as Ireland's longest-running Internet publisher by studiously ignoring booms, bombs and dot-coms.
"Irish Emigrant is one of the leading sources of information about Ireland for people living abroad.
"It is the longevity of [Ferrie's] career that has made him something of an icon for younger publishers".
The Sunday Tribune, 6 May 2001. Mathew Magee
"The Emigrant is how online titles should be run."
Muse Editor Jim Carroll. Quoted in Irish Echo article above |
