Ok FACTS then
Cork in the last census… 186.000
Limerick in the last census 87,000Keenly you put in the METRO area of Cork and added just Limerick city… that’s a bit lame
Both are including city and suburbs, though not all IMO.
Midwest takes a large chunk of the GDP too BTW.
Still exaggeration.
These facts are from wikipedia (formerly encyclopedia brittanica).
Limerick City is the census was 52,000, not 87,000, haven’t you heard that the city is in danger of losing it’s title as a European city. The figures are inclusive of suburbs (not limited by council/county nonsense). There is a massive difference between 274,000 and 89,000 don’t you think.
Don’t bother replying to me, contact the guys at wikipedia, they are always willing to listen as long as you introduce some facts and not just hear say aimed at bigging up Limerick and it’s 200 miles of suburbs.
Of course you’ll never let facts get in the way of a good story
