Agencies under fire as race is on to put Limerick on the (Google) map

AGENCIES responsible for promoting Limerick have been accused of falling down on the job after it emerged that the city was virtually non-existent for industrialists and tourists searching for it on Google Maps.

Google users have to go down into level four on the the map (the basic map rather than the satellite or Earth map) before Limerick emerges.

Proinsias McMahon, who works with international business development, was amazed Limerick Chamber of Commerce and the Limerick Communications Office were not alert to the deficit of information on a critical information site.
