Limerick City or County Limerick?

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Is this a list of people from Limerick City or County Limerick? The link at the top of the page is to the Limerick City page and the template at the bottom is Limerick City also.

If it is the city there are some people who should be removed (eg John Hayes (Rugby)) and perhaps a new County Limerick List started. -- Gramscis cousin^Talk_Stalk 09:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

True, perhaps as many as one third of the list should be removed. Many were born in Limerick, as it has the maternity hospital for the Mid West Region but never lived in Limerick. Their home towns are the place of residence of their parents at the time of their birth, not the location of the maternity hospital. Some of the people on the list weren't even born in Limerick city and never lived there, they are from the county, with at least two from county Clare. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.245.40 (talk) 23:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Jimmy Carr was not born in Ireland

Jimmy Carr should be removed from the list as he was not born in Ireland.
