Google have all of Ireland mapped for streetview. They are just holding back release until they have some other news relevant to Ireland to go with it.

I doubt it. I just saw one of their Streetview cars pass me outside Newgrange last week. Sounds like they are still driving around. Remember, they can only do it on clear sunny days...

They are re-shooting the parts that didnt come out right.
They could launch now if they wanted to and leave the those bad pics out and upload them as they get them. They've been shooting since last spring.

How come most places are so blurry. You cant zoom in at all to see houses or nothing like.

Try this if the areas are blurry. Not the best but has some nice maps, photos and historical maps for Ireland.

Street View driving update Thursday, July 8, 2010 at 9:55 PM (cross-posted from the Google European Public Policy Blog) In May we announced that we had mistakenly included code in our software in Street View cars that collected WiFi payload data. As soon as we discovered our error, we not only stopped collecting WiFi data entirely, but also grounded our fleet of cars globally to give us time to remove the WiFi scanning equipment and discuss what had happened with local regulators. The WiFi data collection equipment has been removed from our cars in each country and the independent security experts Stroz Friedberg have approved a protocol to ensure any WiFi-related software is also removed from the cars before they start driving again. * Having spoken to the relevant regulators we have decided to start Street View driving in Ireland, Norway, South Africa and Sweden again starting next week. We expect to add more countries in time. Our cars will no longer collect any WiFi information at all, but will continue to collect photos and 3D imagery as they did before: * Photos: so that we can build Street View, our 360 degree street level maps. Photos like these are also being taken by TeleAtlas and NavTeq for Bing maps. In addition, we use this imagery to improve the quality of our maps, for example by using shop, street and traffic signs to refine our local business listings and travel directions; and * 3-D building imagery: we collect 3D geometry data with low power lasers (similar to those used in retail scanners) which help us improve our maps. NavTeq also collects this information in partnership with Bing. As does TeleAtlas. We recognize that serious mistakes were made in the collection of WiFi payload data, and we have worked to quickly rectify them. However we also believe that Street View is a great product for users, whether people want to find a hotel, check out a potential new home or find a restaurant. If you want more information about driving schedules, please look here http://maps.google.com/streetview. *We've updated this paragraph to clarify that both the hardware and software will have been removed from all Street View vehicles before they resume driving.

Looks like good news, might not have to wait too long more!

ug. unfortunately in the past it hasn't been unusual for it to take a matter of years between the cars being observed and street view going live.

We can hope though.

Aren't Google's headquarters in Dublin?
You'd think Ireland would be one of the first countries to go live on SV

Sorry Condi !

You would but I suppose there's legal issues to be overcome.

I dont really understand the privacy issues, I mean if you're doing it (whatever "it" might be!) in view of the street you can hardly expect privacy right?

I think its more to do with the data that was being collected.
Walk down most streets & you are probably on CCTV anyway.

Just went into Google Earth to see what an Aerial view of the M50 looked liked since the upgrade & neither the new M50/M1, M50/Ballymun or M50/N2 junction pictures have been updated, does anybody know how often the images are update as it seems they are quite slow at updating if this is anything to go by.

an excellent post about Google Earth Imagery, it's worth reading to gain an understanding about the process of moving imagery from satellites to your computer

I did get a software updat when I ran GE this afternoon. But I don't see anything much new,

Rowley Birkin QC · 30-09-2010 03:01PM

Streetview for Ireland is gone live.

Rowley Birkin QC · 30-09-2010 03:50PM

Just found my aunt and cousin on it. Detail and quality of images is top notch.

EDIT: Found my car too. I don't know why but it makes me happy!!

KoolKid · 30-09-2010 04:19PM

Very good. Looking at my own address the images are around 2 years old.

**Timbuk2** · 30-09-2010 08:30PM

Oh wow it's brilliant! A bit hard to navigate around, in my opinion, but that could be because I'm using a netbook - I'll be able to use a full sized PC tomorrow. The images are great, even my tiny country street is imaged. The images are old enough but I cannot guess when they were taken though!

Yeah, sorry, I had about two minutes to post something via my mobile so had to condense it.

Of the 3 times I saw the google car, it captured me leaving my estate which I posted about in April '09. I feel special

I've noticed Google earth have released new imagery for ireland for the following areas:

Dublin, Cork, Portaloise, Mullingar and Carrigmacross

Here's a kml link to see what areas were updated :

They are still driving around. Have seen them out & about yesterday & today.

When will google update Google Earth, Ireland?
