    The data is on openstreetmap.org, however I'm not sure how easy/hard would be to convert it to the format you need.

    Some info here: https://thepekka.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/openstreetmap-data-extraction/

    Pretty sure someone posted one on this forum a year or two ago

    [edit]
    OK, it was actually 5 years ago!

    Very offhand, the R toolset has various mapping add-ons, and one of these was Ireland + County locations with geographic info.

    Not really. It's got latitude and longitude for individual addresses, but there's no easy way of extracting from that the location of a town centre. Plus I imagine the full data set would cost a fair bit.
