Hi, I am having trouble with nominatim geocoding addresses in the North 
Dock area of Dublin
I think this is because the administrative area is divided into "North 
Dock A ED", B ED and C ED in the following relations
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4283341 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4275228 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4275227

so, when searching for an address such as "Liffey Trust Centre, Sheriff 
Street Upper, North Dock, Dublin" nothing is found but looking for 
"Liffey Trust Centre, Sheriff Street Upper, North Dock B ED, Dublin" 
works just fine. Would it be possible/desirable to put a "North Dock" 
administrative area as the superset of A B and C? or is there some other 
approach that would make geocoding better for people who don't know the 
address (don't think the A/B/C bit is in day to day use)

Alan
