I posted on boards.ie Design forum 
<http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=105012030> and it was 
suggested that I ask here.

Summary: Name of an estate road (in Dublin 15) incorrectly changed in 
August. A few residents have reported error (via "Send Feedback" link on 
Google Maps) but it has not been fixed.
When I report stuff it is generally fixed quickly. In one of my reports I 
commented that my suggested change could be verified with the StreetView 
images.

A reply to my thread suggested this group as some workers may work at 
Google and be able to nudge someone.

Details: "Riverwood Dale" was incorrectly changed to "Riverwood Distributor 
Road" (there is no such road, it is a colloquial name for the main road 
outside the estate roads).
Links: Google Maps 
<https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.3768428,-6.3988097,18.25z> -  Riverwood 
Dene and Vale are correct. The rest of that section should be "Riverwood 
Dale"
OpenStreetMap 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/53.37698/-6.39892&layers=N> - this is 
correct.

I am open to suggestions.
