I need the website addresses of 20 Irish companies or other Irish
organisations (eg. governmental agencies, not for profits, NGOs,
hospitals, educational institutions incl. universities or colleges
with Japanese/Asian studies departments) that do business with Japan.

This can include any of the following?.
- they are Irish, do business with Japan but are based in Ireland 
- they are Irish, do business with Japan and are based in Japan 
- they are Irish and don?t YET do business with Japan but plan to (An
indication of this might be because they  have recently done a merger
or announced their intention to open a branch in Japan).

Please indicate the source of your information in each case (eg. from
a directory or from some business article etc.), so I can judge how
relevant each particular organisation is to what I ultimately need.

Please ignore any organisations offering cultural training /
consultancy work in ?how to do business in Japan?. I am not interested
in gathering the details for such firms.

Please also ignore the following organisations (as I already know they
are involved in the Japanese market).

Kentech 
ESBI 
BMR 
Glen Dimplex 
Alltracel 
Daon 
Orbiscom 
Parc Aviation 
Shanahan Engineering 
Long Haul Technologies 
Polarlake

These links were useful, Foltar. Thank you. I have since followed them
up and some other leads, have gotten the information I need and will
therefore now cancel my question, if google answers lets me.
