[OSM-talk-ie] Talk-ie Digest, Vol 83, Issue 7

Thu Apr 14 22:01:28 UTC 2016

I've checked Balbriggan Skerries Rush, Swords in Fingal are correct
I'll find out where Donabate is
Arklow library is south of the mark, 
There's a good bit else missing in Arklow, I'll tidy that up a bit too

Kevin st, Phibsboro, Pearse st in Dublin are all good
