It is part of the public service of Ireland. The OSI have made modern and historic maps of the state free to view on their website. The OSI is headquartered at Mountjoy House in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. Mountjoy House was the headquarters, until 1922, of the Irish section of the British Ordnance Survey.

Famous quotes containing the words survey and/or ireland:
“When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
“They call them the haunted shores, these stretches of Devonshire and Cornwall and Ireland which rear up against the westward ocean. Mists gather here, and sea fog, and eerie stories. That’s not because there are more ghosts here than in other places, mind you. It’s just that people who live hereabouts are strangely aware of them.”
—Dodie Smith, and Lewis Allen. Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland)
