A Value for Money and Policy Review of the Grant in Aid in respect of Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) was completed in January 2007. This review was wide ranging and covered a number of strategic business elements. The issue of reducing the organisation's dependence on the Exchequer Grant in Aid is an ongoing objective of OSi and the Department. This is being pursued through a number of initiatives which include a process of ongoing productivity gains in the number and volume of OSi's mapping revision cycles and the development of business and marketing strategies with a strong emphasis on product development and related initiatives.
