Chris The people at the Museum should be able to help.... The Museum is still closed I think but their email address is on this page... http://garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=2283&Lang=1 If you were to contact them seeking clarification of these abbreviations they should be able to assist.. just introduce yourself, give examples of the stuff that is on IGP with a link or two, explain what you're trying to do, etc. Make it clear you're NOT looking for lookups as you'll get a reply they don't do lookups!! That way you might get an offer of lookups... :-)) There's a way of doing things and a way of not doing things! Dave.
