Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Townlands and N.I

Thanks for the year, I got this result in my search. So a bill becomes an act after it has gone through the full legislative process. The below link is titled "Local Government (Numbers and Addresses of Buildings in Townlands) Bill", which is what the research paper was building up to.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Townlands and N.I

I am pretty sure there was a bill passed to make it a legal requirement to have the townland in the address, by all official departments, some time in 2015 or 2016 maybe? I know there was a lot of noise at the time by Phil Flanagan from Fermanagh as he wanted to have building numbers within

I think it does, Stephen, since at the very least townland names are used in the official database of house names and are used by many councils at a local level on signs and as part of their naming convention for roads etc, despite no Townland Names Bill having passed the assembly. A very simple

Hi, Note that townlands are likely used for other purposes, e.g. conveyancing. Colm --- Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it
