Hi, I just posted this incorrectly as a private message (first time to use this system) - reposting again here to continue (possibly labour?!) the point.
For example, for Lough Gara http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=53.9469&mlon=-8.4311#map=13/53.9469/-8.4311 there are about 150 archaeological monuments around the lake with the townland listed as 'Lough Gara' in Sligo and Roscommon that according to the boundaries redrawn on OSM now appear in 19 different townlands, so there is a conflict between the records of ~150 monuments in the sites and monuments record and how the monuments appear on OSM. Now, of course L Gara is an extreme case, but it does demonstrate the scale of the problem across the island when dealing with 20th century drainage works and redrawing boundaries. The main point is - what is this project for? If it is to trace the boundaries of the administrative boundaries, maybe the actual boundary should be traced, as otherwise we are actually inventing new boundaries which I don't think is our role. And, as pointed out above, the redrawing of boundaries is creating conflicts with other datasets that people are using.
