Default A curious Irish length unit (2.2m), or???

I am house-hunting in Ireland, and an agent has sent me floor-plans
of a house that looks interesting.

But all the measurements are wrong, in that "1m" seems to represent
a distance of about 2.2 metres.


Could it be 0.1 chain = 6.6 feet?


is the 'm' in '1m' for Michael?

That would be Michael O'Donnell, the 7'2" bloke they sent round to measure
it, who forgot his tape measure and measured it out by lying on the floor?
