Still not live in the USA outside of a few cities and they are already moving on to Australia?

It seems the mapping of Australia was due to finish last month: https://maps.apple.com/imagecollection/locations/au
whereas the mapping of Austria has just started this month and will continue until September: https://maps.apple.com/imagecollection/locations/at

I’m really looking forward to seeing this.  That said, $70m seems like a huge amount for Apple to pay for 1 movie. 

True. But note that Disney paid $75m for Hamilton. So, this seems to be the going rate!

Where did you get “southern” Ireland. It’s called the Republic of Ireland, Ireland or Éire. 

It’s great to see great investment news for Ireland but using incorrect labels takes the shine away. 

Shame on AppleInsider. 

I’ve lived in southern Ireland all of my life (I still do!). It’s what we call it locally, as a convenient way to distinguish it from ‘The North’.

There is no "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is not in "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is located in Limerick, Ireland.  That other place is part of England.

Errrr? Nope. Being pedantic...

Troy Studios is not in "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is located in Limerick, Republic of Ireland.  That other place is part of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

Come on. So many of us living here use the phrase ‘southern Ireland’ to refer to the Republic. It’s a simple way to distinguish it from Northern Ireland. It’s no big deal. I’ve lived a few miles south of the border for most of my life and this phrase is used frequently. We regularly say ‘The North’ as a shorthand, too.

Of course there is. Those of us who live in southern Ireland, especially along the border, use the term regularly. It’s just a quick way to differentiate between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Now, let’s get back to the main topic... Foundation is coming and it’s being produced here! Wow! I loved this series as a teenager. I just hope this is a great production.
