Hi, The person mentioned is Derry O'Leary, strategic planning manager with Dublin Bus - [email protected] (publicly available).
Dublin Bus has about 5,000 unique, active stop (numbers 1-7,500 approximately - be careful not to confuse them with bus shelter numbers), Bus Éireann about 5,000. Others I'm not sure. The permission issue here is not the use of the names (freely available at some stops), but the use of the database of names. I have a copy of the stop database, which looks like: stop_lat,zone_id,stop_lon,stop_id,stop_name,location_type,stop_code 53.35739073,,-6.2877174,8220DB000801,North Circular Road,0,801 53.42459794,,-6.234893927,8240DB003663,Airport Terminal 2,0,3663 53.39038589,,-6.278349237,8220DB000131,Glasnevin Avenue (Beneavin Drive),0,131 53.28904008,,-6.339471376,8230DB002554,Glenview Park,0,2554 I will check on the permissions.
