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.
