I didn't follow everything you said, but above statement may give other readers the misimpression that tzdb has two sets of data for the Republic of Ireland. It doesn't; it has only Europe/Dublin. As far as we know, Europe/Dublin is reasonably accurate for Dublin for the indefinite past, and is also accurate for the Republic of Ireland since it was founded. No other reliable "pre-1970 data" is available for the Republic of Ireland, as far as I know.
That IS part of the problem here ... I've got Ireland grouped with the rest of the truncated UK identifiers which may be a mistake on my part ... but I need to finish working through other more pressing ago before checking ... such as sorting out the .co.uk -> .uk fiasco :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - https://lsces.uk/wiki/Contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - https://lsces.uk Model Engineers Digital Workshop - https://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - https://rainbowdigitalmedia.uk
