Re-use of Public Sector Information

European Communities (Re-use of Public Sector Information) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 525 of 2015)

The European Communities (Re-Use of Public Sector Information (PSI)) Regulations 2005 (as amended by S.I. 103/2008 and SI 525/2015) create a statutory framework for the re-use by businesses and citizens of existing information held by public sector bodies.  The PSI Regulations provide for the release for re-use of information in a pre-existing format or language, and do not apply to information on which substantial work has to be carried out to prepare it for release for re-use. 

Re-use of Information

TII complies with the PSI Regulations and we encourage the re-use of the information that we produce.  Re-use includes copying, modifying, translating, adapting, distributing or otherwise using the information in any medium, mode or format for any lawful purpose.  This also covers commercial and non-commercial purposes.

Details of the information held on the website of Transport Infrastructure Ireland is located here: 

Every effort has been made to ensure that the data concerned is up-to-date and error-free, however, TII will not accept liability if found to be otherwise.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland is not liable for any loss, expenses, costs, claims, demands, damages or liability associated with the re-use of information.

Making a PSI Request

Requests in relation to the PSI Regulations should be made in writing to:

Alternatively, requests may be forwarded to us by email to info@tii.ie.

You should clearly indicate that the request is being made under the PSI Regulations.   Every request made in a language other than Irish or English must be accompanied by a translation of the request into Irish or English.  Please be as specific as possible when detailing your request to help the staff of TII to process your application. Also, please include a daytime contact telephone number so that we can contact you should any clarification be required in relation to your request.

In accordance with the provisions of the Regulations, PSI requests are normally responded to within 20 working days of receipt.  Where, due to the extent or complexity of the request, processing will take longer than 20 working days from receipt of the request, TII shall advise you accordingly within three weeks after the initial request was received. In such circumstances, TII will respond in full to the request within 40 working days from receipt of the request. 

Charges

Information provided by TII under the PSI Regulations will normally be free of charge.  However, in exceptional circumstances, for example, if the information requested is not readily available, a marginal cost may be applied to reflect the cost incurred for the reproduction, provision and dissemination of the information.

• a decision of TII to refuse to allow re-use of a document,
• a decision of TII to refuse to grant an exclusive right to re-use a document,
• the imposition of a fee for re-use of a document,
