My understanding is that townlands are officially defined in Northern Ireland (they form part of the OSNI OpenData administrative boundaries release) but while they are still used as building blocks for higher-level administrative areas such as wards, they are not normally used in addresses. I would suggest adding "and Northern Ireland" to the entry on townlands.
