BEAUTIFUL images and videos of the city and county have lit up the internet as Limerick people both nationally and internationally responded to a controversial Forbes article.
There was widespread criticism of an article which appeared on the business magazine’s web site last night, which perpetuated a number of false stereotypes of Limerick.
It suggested brothers Patrick and John Collison had “escaped” the city in order to set up their multi-billion euro firm Stripe in the Silicon Valley.
The story, since removed from the Forbes web site, claimed that Limerick is known as Europe's "murder capital", with both Patrick and John stepping in to rubbish its contents.
