Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI; Irish: Suirbhéireacht Ordanáis Éireann) is the national mapping agency of Ireland and, together with the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI), succeeded, after 1922, the Irish operations of the United Kingdom Ordnance Survey. 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:
“In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
All that was said in Ireland is a lie
Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
