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

[Dave Corley]

I read that thread, I figured there was something about it before, just
couldn't recall.

If I'm honest, I think my opinion has changed from the one I originally
stated in that thread on the basis that townland boundaries are changed
through statutory instruments only (as far as I am aware). I'd welcome
being corrected though especially in the context of what was mentioned in
that previous thread with regards to how boundaries are treated where there
is coastal erosion etc.

It could well be that there's a set way of handling all these variations
and we're meeting all of them presently or might need to modify some things
a little.

Would the smoothened boundary data from the CSO site give any indication?
