    Abstract

    The analysis of service quality in an online context has become a popular research activity. In this paper the research process of an empirical study in this area is described. At the time of writing, the survey instrument, E-S-QUAL, had not been utilised in Ireland, and as far as we know has been used very little internationally. Following a brief literature review, we describe our research process and methodology in some detail, and outline the initial stages of the data analysis. Concluding remarks summarise the research to date and indicate the potential for future research in this area.
