Article about OSM Ireland

I had read Richards paper to the SotM in 2013 and found it interesting,
nice to read it again.
If not too much trouble Richard could you please issue a statistical update
paragraph, also for the web page, just of the lines below from your
article. It would be of interest to many and a nice marker at the end of
2015.

"...So far, the community has mapped 4,500 of the island’s 62,000
townlands, so there is still quite some way to go.

...The number of objects (nodes, ways and relations in OpenStreetMap
terminology) in the Ireland dataset grew by 25% in the first 6 months of
2013 alone, and the length of road in the dataset, at 126,000km in August
2013

...The Irish dataset currently contains over 8.2 million objects, including
86,985 houses, 15,850 trees, 2,657 pubs and 2 grit bins

... Over 2,000 people have made edits to the map in Ireland (strictly
speaking, there are 2,045 OSM user accounts which are the ‘last modifier’
of an object within the island of Ireland). Of these just 30 people, or
1.5%, are responsible for 80% of the edits"


Thank you
