[OSM-talk-ie] Dublin street names from Dublin City Council

[Mike Połtyn]

Hi Colm,

I'd say even 90% of proper names is good enough to be used on OSM. At
least during importing we have a document to reference (being that PDF
or CSV, doesn't really matter), and if anything, we can reference that
in the edit itself as well.
