Facebook has blacklisted the parish of Effin – for having an offensive name.

Ms Kennedy contacted Facebook but received no reply, so tried to set up a group called ‘Please get my hometown Effin recognised’. Proud: Ann Marie Kennedy tried to list her hometown on Facebook but was rejected . That was also rejected. ‘It came back with an error message saying 'offensive,’ she said. Facebook's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg . ‘It will recognise Limerick, but I’m from Effin. I’m a proud Effin woman.’ 'It will recognise Limerick but I'm not from Limerick city, I'm from Effin. 'I'm a proud Effin woman. 'And I always will be an Effin woman.' Facebook allows the word ‘effin’ in many group and profile names, but refuses to recognise it as a location. Ms Kennedy, who now lives in Banogue, has now launched a campaign to have Facebook recognise the town and put it on the map. A Facebook spokesman confirmed the company was looking into the oversight.
