Out of Copyright OS map paper sheets for OSM use, see   Talk-ie Digest, Vol
79, Issue 10

Thanks to JMKIE and Dafo43 the OOC maps for Kildare and Wicklow have been
handed over or bespoken.

Meath, Tipperary and Westmeath are the ones I am most interested in next
being invited to share but will be delighted to be asked about any other
counties.

As these maps are a wonderful resource for us I look forward to hearing
from lots of you please.
