Quick answer: most of them :p

More helpfully, I imported everything in the data file for Ireland
(Republic) that was a "place" as opposed to any other kind of
landmark. If you pick a random part of Ireland and download a section
of map you're sure to encounter some of what was imported - look out
for gns:* attributes.

Documentation is scarce, beyond my posts on talk and talk-ie (should
be archived) and my actual perl code as referenced from the list
posts. It could probably do with a Wiki page, since I'd imagine the
GNS information (inaccurate as it is) might be useful to the mapping
efforts in other countries too.

I must get something on the record about this (if only to avoid people
deleting the gns: attributes whose purpose mightn't be immediately
obvious).
