[OSM-talk-ie] Web page map of Dublin Streets but with name:ga shown.

[Rebecca O'Neill]

Hi Brian,

I have plans to work on a dataset on Dublin streets to get as many as
possible on to Wikidata. I also have been using the 1897 McCready text to
add old Street names to Wikidata and Wikipedia articles. Not in a
systematic way though, which is my plan for the immediate future - I'll
keep you posted on that.
