Tailte Éireann, a new State agency to manage and develop Irelandʼs land, property, and location data.

Tailte Éireann is a new State agency brought about by the merger of the Property Registration Authority, the Valuation Office, and Ordnance Survey Ireland.

Tailte Éireann provides a comprehensive and secure property title registration system, a professional State valuation service and an authoritative national mapping and surveying infrastructure.

All the functions currently carried out by the Property Registration Authority, the Commissioner of Valuation, the Boundary Surveyor, and Ordnance Survey Ireland will be performed by Tailte Éireann.

As an integrated land and property service, Tailte Éireann will help to support the planning process and professionals; one central body for information and data to assist planning and land information.

A key objective of Tailte Éireann is to maximise the benefits of integrated land and property services in Ireland and to facilitate access to and use of location and property information by citizens, businesses and policy makers, including title information, valuation data, maps and aerial imagery.

The Minister of State with responsibility for Local Government and Planning, Kieran OʼDonnell, officially launched the new state agency on the 1st of March.

Speaking at the launch event in the Distillers Building, the new Tailte Éireann HQ under construction in Smithfield Square, Minister Kieran OʼDonnell said:

"I am pleased to launch Tailte Éireann today. The new agency is the primary national source of property information and geospatial data and will be a leader in developing and delivering land information services.

These functions are essential for underpinning the state's economy in many areas, including property, planning, agriculture, local government, the environment, and construction.”

“I want to express my gratitude to all of our colleagues from the three merged organisations for their ongoing work and commitment, especially throughout the merger process. I also thank our colleagues from the Department of Housing, Local Government, and Heritage for their assistance in establishing Tailte Éireann. We look forward to working collaboratively with all our stakeholders in developing integrated land and property services in Ireland.”
