Hi Walter,
We don't actually have defined cities like in other parts of the world. In

What is missing, is AL8 - used for "Districts" in the UK. Counties used
to exist in NI but they are now defunct as administrative entities. The
boundaries seem to be (still) there in OSM, but with boundary=historic
admin_level=6. I am not sure where the existing AL10 data came from, and
what these
