Glad you like it Tony.
Thanks, I have standardised those nodes as advised.
This is what I was after the data for, it's another attempt to
visualise the border, it's a map of the border crossings (from OSM)
which allows you to view the crossing with StreetView.

While I am on here, while I was looking for a data set of the
crossings I came across a resource from the Ordnance Survey: 
https://data.gov.ie/dataset/border-exits-entrances-osi-national-1m-map-of-ireland


Is it just me or are the majority of the locations off ?
I have stuck a quick map together comparing the 2 data sets:

 Fascinating video Keith! And mesmerising I had to laugh when I saw
the
 brief "no imagery exists at this zoom level" message, somewhere
around the
 Monaghan border I think.

 re: naming convention, I would be inclined to go for the more generic
 "Border NI/ROI"m unless it is clear that the border crossing mane is
itself
 a specific name that would be used locally, in which case provide
 name=Border NI/ROI and name_2=[the other name].

 N1/A1 crossings aren't particularly noteworthy to need spelling out,
and
 clearly they are not using a terminology that could be expanded to
the
 other crossings (far too many without road numbers, etc). Thats' my
opinion
 anyway.
