Hi Brian,

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking here. Are you asking about how
the objects should be named in OSM? Or are you looking for a way to
display a map with guaranteed to have a "Barony of" prefix?

If it's the later, I could update the download files on townlands.ie
to include a new column, "descriptive_name" or something, which will
always include a "Barony of" for each barony. On townlands.ie, I
process the name from OSM, so that it is always displayed as "Barony
of X" on the web. Would that work for you?

Rory
