But there are sets of them available for all counties and can be purchased from the Ordnance Survey in Phoenix Park, Dublin. The maps are called Townland Index maps and are based upon the first and/or second series of 6" maps produced in the early part of the 1800's. For County Cork, there are 17 maps, most of them in the 20x28" size range. The price for these maps quadrupled immediately after I order my sets for all of the counties, and they now cost about U.S. 7 dollars each ! And it takes "only" 169 of these beauties to cover the Republic <grin>. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
