I got wind of this:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,,1896588,00.asp

Here's the blurb:

 "Momentum NI, a trade association representing some 170 of Northern
  Ireland's ICT (Information Communications and Technology) companies, is
  spearheading the initiative and wants the center to span Northern Ireland
  and the Republic of Ireland. "We are also planning to hold 'the great
  open-source debate' next year, which will look at how free and open-source
  technology, as a disruptive technology, has changed the way the software
  industry does business and the new opportunities it has spawned," Ian
  Graham, Momentum NI's chief executive, told eWEEK here Monday."

I've spoken with Ian Graham before, he seems a good guy.
