[OSM-talk-ie] Irish Border Crossing points

[Keith]

Hi Colm,

Would rounding errors really cause them to be that far out ?

The one on the Old Dublin road is over 300m off

http://www.google.com/maps/place/54.113372999104556,-6.35452749999999

While one crossing on the N54/A3 seems almost 1/2 a km off !
