Thanks to OA@UCD and Niamh Brennan for the alert and for this piece of news:
Apparently discussions are underway in the only Irish research funding council without an OA policy, the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS).
Also see our past posts on Science Foundation Ireland.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
