-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
The Dept. of Education & Skills has a website where they have all the schools location specified ( https://www.education.ie/en/find-a-school ), but that lat/long data is not included in the downloadable schools list and the copyright on it is not specified (i.e. it's 'all rights reserved'). So close!
