Looks like there is some open data available including 2012 districts (I
think these are the 'super councils' referred to):

Hi Walter,
We don't actually have defined cities like in other parts of the world. In
fact there are only 5 which are classed as cities. They are Armagh, Belfast,
Derry/Londonderry, Lisburn and Newry.
Historically, each city had its own council. But recently the councils have
been merged into what we called super councils. For example the new super-
council covering Armagh City, now covers a huge area and is called "Armagh
City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council" the only completely intact
council being Belfast City Council.
The boundaries are defined by the OSNI/LPS and up until a few months ago all
their data was Crown copyright. They have started to release some data under
an Open Government Licence but this is a slow, painful process! The Royal
Mail also own the addresses and postcodes here and while they have been forced
to "open" the postcode in other parts of the UK, they still refuse to do it
here. This makes all data sources we would need to plot city boundaries are
copyrighted by various organisations.
I hope this explains the situation here in "Norn Iron"

But it can't be ok that there are no city boundaries in N-I any more.
Ok, counties may be historic now, but Cities?
