Out of Copyright OS map paper sheets for OSM use, see Talk-ie Digest, Vol 79, Issue 10
Thanks to JMKIE and Dafo43 the OOC maps for Kildare and Wicklow have been handed over or bespoken. Meath, Tipperary and Westmeath are the ones I am most interested in next being invited to share but will be delighted to be asked about any other counties. As these maps are a wonderful resource for us I look forward to hearing from lots of you please.
