More than that, there is no reason to set addr:county anywhere in Ireland, for the same reason that addr:country is not needed: because the countr?y multipolygons cover the whole territory. Adding an addr:country/county/city tag is only usefull for addresses not inside the corresponding MP. Revently, rather than adding addr:city everywhere, I added a city MP around Kilkenny for that reason (I hadn't done that before because there's no official city boundary that i onow of, but an approximation is better than nothing). Concerning Eircode, I wonder about the sanity of attempting to replicate that db in osm by puting addr:postcode on every node (indeed I dont think that eircode is sane to begin with). Is maping only eircode postal districts (as polygons) useful ? It'd be comparatively trivial. -- Vincent Dp _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
