I have a request pending with the Cork boundary transition team (since I haven't found a licence-free version of the data yet and they haven't spray-painted the new borders "on the ground"). đ
They haven't responded so far (have emailed them twice) so if anyone has any contacts in the city / county councils, please give them a poke. Thanks!
