Overpass Map of Townlands

We received a request on how someone might display a map of the townlands in County Down. One way to display that map is using Overpass Turbo. The query to display the data is:

[out:json][timeout:25];
area[name="County Down"]->.searchArea;
(
  relation["admin_level"="10"]["boundary"="administrative"]["locality"="townland"](area.searchArea);
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

The result is quite big so go easy on the Overpass servers.
