I just read that Mary Hanafin, Culture Minister, had announced the release of new historical Ordnance Survey maps and it sounded as if they would be freely available. However when I go on http://www.osi.ie I see no sign of this. In fact, the site seems a little broken when it comes to historical links. Does anyone know more?
