Dave,
I presume such figures are as good for almost all of Ireland, as we are only talking about seconds in the difference over such a small (country) area - or am I wrong? Reason being, there's no point in asking you for new figures for Tullamore if these would work!

Seanie Heres the details for Tullamore.
As you can see theres nearly a minute in the difference.
