Re-Use of Public Sector Information
The European Communities (Re-Use of Public Sector) Regulations 2005 (S.I. No. 279/2005) provide a statutory basis for the re-use by individuals and organisations of existing information held by public sector bodies.
The European Communities (Re-Use of Public Sector Information) Regulations 2005 (as amended by S.I. 103/2008 and S.I. 525/2015) (the PSI Regulations) affect how information may be re-used, once it is legitimately accessed, by placing obligations on the public sector to the benefit of re-users.
The PSI Regulations provide for the re-use of information held by public sector bodies. It is important to note, however, that the PSI Regulations
- do not create any new rights of access to information
- do not circumscribe existing regimes in respect of copyright or intellectual property
- do not circumscribe the protection of personal data or Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation
- do not permit the release of information in a manner that is otherwise prohibited by law
