Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM), is the geographic coordinate system for Ireland. It was implemented jointly by the Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI) and the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) in 2001. The name is derived from the Transverse Mercator projection it uses and the fact that it is optimized for the island of Ireland.
