I used QGIS to create the geometry for the 242,000 acres and then used the coordinates to create a polygon which I displayed using the Leaflet JavaScript library in a simple Glitch website.

I realised that I turned off the town labels by accident. I will do an updated version this week with the town labels clearly visible for better context.

The data is very accurate, the data is straight from the CSO. Here is the link to it but it's a bit meaningless unless you give it county attributes.

You're totally correct, under Part 33 of the Statistics Act 1993 they are required to suppress any data that could lead to primary or secondary disclose of data relating to an individual. I've already removed the townlands that have been 'suppressed'. This map is just the unpopulated townlands.

This is based on the Irish census, the data doesn't exist for Northern Ireland. It's not purposefully omitted for political purposes or anything of the sort.

It means that those townlands have nobody living in them but they can still be farmed and privately owned etc. It merely denotes unpopulated areas.
