you should ask Patricia McKenna, a green european deputee in Ireland: http://www.pmckenna.com/

--> I talked with her at the european parliament while showing to some green deputees samples of free software, and she might give/get you more info.

Oh by the way there is a rebuke of this article on the front page of http://www.linux.ie

As I live in Ireland I can safely say I live in hope for tomorrow, I hope it is not in vain.
