Mr. Colin Bray:

The organisation and the benefit that national mapping can provide to the State will be enhanced. When one looks at the merger of these three organisations which deal with valuation, registration and surveying, one can see they are substantial spatial information organisations. When combined, these organisations become a very valued asset to the State in terms of providing the largest spatial information platform available not only for traditional OSi activities but for the provision to the State of a spatial data infrastructure and e-Government.
