Good point, I don't think the wards are used anymore, maybe they could be
included on the OSM townland map though?

The islands of Skerries (the skerries and rockabill) are in no electoral
area, I missed the consultation period to mention it to the electoral
commission.
Not sure how to map these, or the rationale for them being missing, much
smaller islands are included off the Atlantic coast

I'm using
http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/os_opendata.html?zoom=14=53.26797=-6.38816=B0FTTFF
to compare the townlands, unfortunately it seems to end short of Dublin city
centre. Can't remember who posted the link originally.
I see what you mean about the overlap around the South Circular
Yes the white space for old Dublin City, on maps.openstreetmap.ie worries
me gently from time to time. I wonder though whether if the townlands are
so very old whether we should only tag city centre wards as admin-level=10
if they are the oldest wards we can find?
