Questions

  • Is Irish National Grid Reference System the correct title, given that the system is used not only through the Irish Republic but also in Northern Ireland too?. It is actually an international, or at least transnational, system. -- Chris j wood 13:53, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Was the Irish National Grid Reference System really devised by the Ordnance Survey. Certainly that organisation does not now operate in either the Irish Republic or Northern Ireland (which both have their own government mapping organisations). And given that pre-independance Ireland had its own separate civil service, it seems unlikely that they ever did. -- Chris j wood 13:53, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
