Small Areas Ungeneralised - National Statistical Boundaries - 2015

<div style='text-align:left;'><p style='font-size:12pt;'><span>The Small Area Boundaries were created with the following credentials. National boundary dataset. Consistent sub-divisions of an ED. Created not to cross some natural features. Defined area with a minimum number of GeoDirectory building address points. Defined area initially created with minimum of 65 – approx. average of around 90 residential address points. Generated using two bespoke algorithms which incorporated the ED and Townland boundaries, ortho-photography, large scale vector data and GeoDirectory data. Before the 2011 census they were split in relation to motorways and dual carriageways. After the census some boundaries were merged and other divided to maintain privacy of the residential area occupants. They are available as generalised and non generalised boundary sets in the ITM projection.</span></p><p><span style='font-size:16px;'>This dataset is provided by Tailte Éireann </span><br /></p></div>
