Hi,
any reason why there are only admin boundaries with admin_level=10 in
Northern Ireland?
No counties (AL6), no cities (AL8), no Suburbs(AL9) - nothing
Ireland (the island) is normally handled as one entity in OSM, so tends
to be covered by the talk-ie list and the #osm-ie IRC channel. This
makes some sort of sense even in the context of admin boundaries as as I
understand it the underlying Townland etc. structure predates the
establishment of "Northern Ireland" (the part of Ulster that is in the UK).
Someone from the Irish community has already answered your original
question over here:

That links to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ireland/Boundaries
As has already been said, politically it's complicated... :
