List of places in Ireland

Axwell · 2014-07-03 10:18:22

Wondering if anyone knows is there a list online that is accurate of all the place names in Ireland. Someone I know has a query and wanted to know of all the Jigginstowns in Ireland, theres one in Naas but he wanted to know if there were others. I know you could just google the name but thats not very accurate, is there…

The History & Heritage forum may be a better place for this, especially as you are looking for countrywide info. You could also try searching the Ordnance Survey Ireland website.

essentially placename.ie - based on the placenames commission.

I think it is unique.
