Hi,

I agree that there are some particular problems with Dublin street names. 

This document:   www.dublincity.ie/SiteCollectionDocuments/Sráidainmneacha Bhaile Atha Cliath.pdf  lists Nassau Street = Sráid Nassau. The street sign lists Nassau Street = Sráid Thobair Phádraig. It is down to over-zealous linguistic nationalism: http://www.historyireland.com/volume-13/dublins-street-names/

Years ago, I spoke to one of the council officials who deals with street
 names and his opinion was the document could be considered 95% correct.
 My experience since then would lead me to think 90% would be the 
number. I'm not sure that the PDF matches the CSV.
