81. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will advise on a matter raised in correspondence (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53637/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraTailte Éireann, as a single entity focused on the production and maintenance of core-reference data centred on land ownership and land value, will be formed from the merger of the Valuation Office, Ordnance Survey Ireland and the Property Registration Authority of Ireland.
Streamlining services into one entity with its own Vote of Expenditure and headed by a single chief executive and Board will allow Tailte Éireann to efficiently take advantage of the national geospatial data hub ‘GeoHive’ that has been developed by Ordnance Survey Ireland, and will enable it to combine and integrate the wealth of authoritative land information held by the Property Registration Authority, the Valuation Office, Ordnance Survey Ireland and other public bodies, to provide citizens, business and policy makers with new land Information products and services.
The provision of high quality, reliable, trusted and maintained geospatial information is essential for a wide range of critical State functions from environmental planning and management, to the effective administration of property and land use.
