[OSM-talk] Relations on Irish islands

Hi all,

Inspired by this morning's Falkland Isles question, could someone explain
Irish counties / islands to me? Apologies in advance for not signing up to
talk-ie...

I've been tidying up some islands off the Cork coast, which are tagged as
outers in the county relation [0]. Cork county itself is part of the
province of Munster [1], but the Munster boundary tagging on the islands
I'm dealing with ([2] for example) doesn't seem right - they're all tagged
as "<different>"

What does "<different>" mean? This should be "outer"?

thinking further on... Could the Cork County relation just be tagged as a
member of the Munster relation? This would then see the Munster relation
removed from individual ways.

Thanks, Joseph
