Brian, These nodes were imported as basically there was no other source at the time. We now have Bing and GSGS3906 to reference, both of which are extremely accurate.
I know in my part of the world the GNS Nodes are extremely inaccurate, some are 1-10km off where they should be!! My advice would be to firstly find its correct location and using Bing check that there isn’t a hamlet at this location. Like a small cluster of houses. If it is actually a hamlet, move it into position where it should be. Some of the nodes aren’t actually hamlets at all, just a large townland in the area, in these cases the node should be deleted once you have mapped the townland correctly. If in doubt, give us a shout in #osm-ie chat room or on the mailing list.
