They can be found at http://www.geologicalmaps.net/IrishHistMaps/index.cfm. We have recorded the marginal information relating to the geology but not the underlying OSI topo statements.

We are aware that the National Library of Ireland and the Glucksman Map library probably both have copies, but we were wondering if there are any closer to us? Also can someone tell me how many sheets make up the complete set? Thanks very much in advance for your help.
