Ireland (Score:1)

They do not seem to have populated the database with any irish information. Nothing I search for brings back any useful results. Strange as I assumed they pulled it from the same source as the maps and their is plenty of map data for Ireland.Still it is beta so maybe they will get around to it.

  The actual business address data is provided by Yell.com (as credited at the bottom right of search results), and since they don't cover Ireland it'll be a lot more work for Google to do this.

    I meant the location search more than the business search. It feels a little strange to see Dublin on the map but for a search for Dublin to not return Dublin,Ireland.
    Then again its cool to have the maps available at all,just a pity google ireland havn't managed to get a maps.google.ie in place.
