The Property Registration Authority of Ireland shared the data concerned with my Department in accordance with an agreed protocol. My Department had to agree to and sign an undertaking to abide by the conditions of this protocol prior to the release of the data. One of the conditions of the protocol is that the requester will not disclose, share or otherwise provide the land parcel geometry or other PRAI data received by it, in response to a request for bulk data from any Department, public body, agency or to any other public body or to any third party. In the circumstances, it is not open to my Department to share the data received.
