My first Greasemonkey script is for people who travel. I find it annoying that google will re-direct me to the local country’s page, even if I don’t speak the language. This is a handy, incredibly feature light, script that redirects you to the google.ie site. It doesn’t redirect from .com because some tools depend on that tld.

I hope it’s useful!
You can find it at the userscripts.org site here:

To change it to redirect to another country, just edit the @exclude from http://*.google.ie/* to replace .ie with your tld of choice, and then change
'.google.ie' in the parentheses with your desired domain.
