[GIS] Republic of Ireland country boundary shapefiles

datairelandshapefile

Does anyone know where I can get shapefiles for the country border of the Republic of Ireland?

Ideally I would like these to be in British National Grid (BNG) projection, as I have to show these on a map which includes Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.

Here you can download the Republic of Ireland boundaries: http://census.cso.ie/censusasp/saps/boundaries/ED_SA%20Disclaimer1.htm

I don't think they're in BNG projection, but you might convert it I guess.

Republic of Ireland unfortunately uses their own solution for postal codes called Eircode, which has closed source and working on it directly comes with some license fees, that aren't even publicly listed on their website.

I have done some research and found small database that's good enough for most use cases database of postcodes (grouped by routing keys) that also comes with names and WSG84 geographical coordinates.

The database can be found below under "IE.zip" filename: https://download.geonames.org/export/zip/

The osm tag you need for this is called power=line. You can obtain the data you're looking for on overpass-turbo. The query you need for this is

  [power=line]
  ({{bbox}});
(._;>;);
out;

Of course you can further modify it by adapting voltage=* for example.
