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.
