Ireland Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap, 2026 Export

Ireland's public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically more detailed than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Conduct urban analysis of amenity distribution and accessibility.
• Enhance basemaps with detailed landmark and tourism features.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Points are categorized using established OpenStreetMap tagging schemas for amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made features.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap, with urban areas likely more complete than remote areas.
