Description Sergey V. Udaltsov 2013-12-21 12:53:27 UTC
Ireland currently has Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Dunleary, Glentavraun. Not nearly enought. At least first 20 of those have to be added:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland_by_population

The list contains links to individual cities with their coordinates (I can extract and attach here)

I know the population of those places is small (in your rules, you mention 100K) - but if you do not list relatively small cities/towns in Ireland, you'll end with just Dublin and Cork, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Alternatively (or additionally), at least capitals of Irish counties can be listed:

I attached the XML that can be directly put into Locations.xml. Please commit. It contains 34 locations in ireland, referencing 11 airports. Checked with gnome-shell weather extension, works ok. If you need more data to be put to  XML - pls let me know.
