Pfizer should have built a Sildenafil factory in Stillorgan. Imagine the headlines: "Viagra boost for Stillorgan"
Nenagh would be the perfect place for an ambulance assembly plant.
What other appropriate place names do we have in Ireland for specific companies or industry?

There are lots of people in Donegal with the last name Diver (pronounced Divver).

On the about to be mentioned estate on the northside there is a horticultural supply shop called the Gardens of Edenmore, always gives me a laugh :-)
