Hi, Barrett!
Presumably Experian Goad Ltd [http://www.goadplans.co.uk] either will not
tell you or they no longer hold 'historical' plans?
Presently, it *may* be possible to purchase historical Goad fire insurance
plans of - for example - Cork (1896 to 1926), Dublin, and of Limerick. Nick
Bulmore (ex-Goad Plans, now of Latitude Maps, Potters Bar, Herts) is today
kindly 'phoning a friend' to confirm this possibility. When he has the
general availability information we can inform all Lis-maps subscribers; and
when he has your specific Irish town plans query answered we can e-mail you
offlist.

Subject: Re: Goad fire insurance maps
Hi Herbert,
Yes I'm familiar with TCD's current situation. What I want to do,
however, is purchase copies of the Irish maps. They may be too
expensive, not available for purchase etc - but I can't find any of
that out without somewhere / someone to contact.
Would be delighted if this e-mail would goad the elusive goad into
divulgence of same,
Julia
