Google Maps: fails to populate country for "Ireland"

Geocoding netherlands properly returns "country" in address components, while Ireland returns "establishment" instead and updateAddressComponent fails to populate the country name. Is there an easy way to workaround this? Because this violates Geocoder\Model\Country::getName() return type

I do not quite understand. But aren't you saying that this is an error on Google?

[norkunas]

I don't know if this is an error on google, but I expect that Ireland like other countries should be properly populated :)

The geocoder library relies on external services. If external services like googlemaps do not return satisfactory results, it is not the fault of geocoder.
That being said, api calls to googlemaps can (and should) be more explicit:

PRs #619 and #620 now support this functionality

Thank you @arubacao

I will close this issue.
