[OSM-talk-ie] Choice of grid

Folks, I could use some advice.

As I've mentioned here before we've put Irish tiles into our mapping 
software, mainly based on OSM data. In the application we show grid 
references and I'm aware that there's 2/3 Irish grid reference systems 
which have been used in Ireland: historically you had 
EPSG:29902/EPSG:29903 (which seem to be identical for our purposes) but 
as I understand it you've now moved over to the Irish Transverse 
Mercator (ITM) or EPSG:2157.

My questions are:

1. I'm assuming that OSI and OSNI maps are now all EPSG:2157. Is that 
right?

2. Assuming I'm right does anyone still use EPSG:29902/3 or has everyone 
now switched to using EPSG:2157 for quoting grid references?

TIA

Paul
