The web interface is down in Ireland too.
But IMAP access is working fine.
In Germany was down as well, but now works fine again.

I guess gmail is working everywhere on the globe again.
We encountered the same problems here in Austria (web, imap was working all
the time), too, but everything seems to be fine at the moment.
