Hi,
As background, I am editing the Road Traffic (Special Speed Limits)(County
Monaghan) Bye-Laws, 2014. I may sound angry in this email, but please take it
as frustration and confusion.
Over the last day I have added notes to various roads around County Monaghan,
several of which have been rejected on over-zealous "Sources Prohibited "
grounds.
For example:

Sources Prohibited.
----------------------------------------------------
Both the council and Department of Transport refer to it as "Clones Road" and
it indeed it goes to Clones.
S.I. No. 53/2012 - Roads Act 1993 (Classification of National Roads)
Order 2012 http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2012/en/si/0053.html places
Clones Road west of Market Road and east of Mullaghadun and
Tullygrimes.
Why are separate council and governmental sources, available under the European
Communities (Re-Use of Public Sector Information) Regulations 2005 (SI 279 of
2005) referred to as "Sources Prohibited"?
I have only used OSi, Google, Bing, NTA JP as confirmation - not original
sources. NTA JP actually misspells it as "Clones Raod" at one point, but you
get the idea. :) Even if I only used OSi, Google, Bing, NTA JP as original
sources, surely that is 'genuine' research', not plagiarism.
If everybody is calling it "Clones Road" it just might be "Clones Road", but
the attitude seems to be walk like a duck, talk like a duck ... oh, no you can
only call if **Anas platyrhynchos**, not a duck. :(
