Europe/Dublin currently has the two fall backs
in 1946 and 1947 going from 02:00 to 01:00, one hour
before the corresponding two jumps in Europe/London.
This is wrong; both should go from 03:00 to 02:00.
For 1947, the "Summer Time Order, 1947" at
[http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1947/sro/71/made/en/print.html]
gives the time of the switch as "two o'clock, West-European time",
where "West-European time" means GMT according to the
"Summer Time Act, 1925", section 4, at
[http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1925/act/8/enacted/en/print.html]
For 1946, the "Summer Time Order, 1926" at
[http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1926/sro/919/made/en/print.html]
specifies the time of the switch in the same manner.
Hence I propose to change Zone Europe/Dublin as follows:
# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
- 0:00 1:00 IST 1946 Oct 6 2:00
+ 0:00 1:00 IST 1946 Oct 6 2:00s
0:00 - GMT 1947 Mar 16 2:00
- 0:00 1:00 IST 1947 Nov 2 2:00
+ 0:00 1:00 IST 1947 Nov 2 2:00s
0:00 - GMT 1948 Apr 18 2:00
