Rebecca, Thanks for the offer, but as I wrote, I do not map in Ireland. I'm a Belgian following this mailing list. However, I do hope someone on this list might get interested in the topic and start mapping those objects in Ireland. I wrote an OSM diary entry on the subject a while ago [1]. As you can see from my list of Wikimedia Commons contributions [2], I do try to photograph the less popular, or smaller heritage items. (and some artwork as well)
