[OSM-talk-ie] Query on tracing townlands and dealing with changed lake levels and new boundaries

[Killian Driscoll]

I guess it comes down to what we are doing here. By changing the boundary
to match the new shoreline we are in effect changing the townland size, and
also creating anomalies whereby e.g. Irish monuments are now appearing in
townlands where there are not there officially according to the sites and
monuments record.
