Terms of use

Last updated 1 October 2026

1. Who we are

InSite (www.insite.ie) is operated by Irish School of Traditional Trades Limited, a company registered in Ireland with company number 729114, whose registered office is at No. 11 Whiterock Lane, Whitebrook, Wexford, Y35 A9C6 ("we", "us"). You can contact us at rob@attuned.ie.

By using InSite you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

2. What InSite is

InSite takes an address, Eircode or map location and automatically compiles information about that area, including geology, soils, water, flood risk, heritage designations, protected sites, environmental hazards, utilities and planning context, from Irish and international public data sources. It also produces derived views, such as maps, 3D terrain models, water-flow analysis and estimates, from that data.

InSite is currently provided free of charge. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it at any time without notice.

3. Important: the information is indicative, not advice

Everything InSite shows is compiled automatically and is provided for general, preliminary information only. In particular:

• It is not professional advice. Nothing on InSite is legal, planning, surveying, engineering, environmental, financial or any other professional advice, and using InSite does not create a professional relationship with us.
• It may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. The underlying data comes from third parties and is published at different scales, dates and levels of accuracy. Sources can be wrong, can change without notice, or can be temporarily unavailable. We don't verify it, and we can't guarantee any result is correct or current.
• Locations are approximate. Addresses and Eircodes are usually located only to an approximate area, not an exact building, and map data has its own positional accuracy limits. Results depend on the location used.
• Plot boundaries are not legal boundaries. Parcel outlines come from Tailte Éireann's cadastral map, which is not a legally guaranteed boundary. Outlines that InSite derives for unregistered land are approximations only. Check title and boundaries with Tailte Éireann (landdirect.ie) and a solicitor.
• Absence of a result is not a clearance. If InSite shows nothing for a category (for example no flood risk, no recorded monument, no protected structure), that does not mean none exists. It may simply not be mapped, not be published, or not be covered for that area.
• Estimates and models are approximations. Derived outputs, such as water-table estimates, water-flow and flooding analysis, terrain models and capacity figures, are simplified models of published data, with the limitations stated beside them. They are not a substitute for a site investigation, survey or formal application to the relevant body.
• Utility information is indicative only. It is not a record of where underground services are. Always obtain the network operators' own records and follow safe-digging procedures before any excavation.

You are responsible for how you use the information. Before making any decision that matters, such as buying, selling, valuing, designing, applying for planning permission, building or excavating, check the information directly with the original source and get advice from suitably qualified professionals.

4. Third-party data and services

InSite relies on data and services provided by third parties, including (among others) Geological Survey Ireland, the Environmental Protection Agency, Tailte Éireann, the National Monuments Service, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Office of Public Works, local authorities, the Heritage Council, the Central Statistics Office, ComReg, ESB Networks, EirGrid, GBIF, OpenStreetMap contributors, Esri, Google and Autoaddress. The full list, with each source's publisher and licence, is on our data sources page.

That data remains the property of its owners and is subject to their own terms and licences. Where a source requires attribution, it is given on that page, in the report or on the map. We are not responsible for third-party data, its availability, or the content of third-party websites that we link to.

5. Acceptable use

You may use InSite for your own purposes. You must not:

• use InSite in a way that breaks the law or anyone else's rights;
• use automated tools to make large numbers of requests, scrape or bulk-download information, or otherwise place an unreasonable load on InSite or the services it relies on;
• try to get around rate limits or other protections, gain unauthorised access, or disrupt or damage InSite;
• present InSite's output as professional advice, or as an official record of any public body.

We may limit or block access where we reasonably believe these terms have been broken, or to protect InSite and the services it depends on.

6. Intellectual property

The InSite name, logo, design and software belong to us. Data and map content belong to their respective owners (see section 4). You may save, print and share reports you generate for your own use, provided you don't remove source attributions or present them as professional advice.

7. Our liability

InSite is provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we give no warranties or guarantees about InSite or its information, including about accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, InSite or its information, including any loss of profit, opportunity, money or property, or any indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Irish law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud, or any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded.

8. Privacy

How we handle information when you use InSite is explained in our privacy policy.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and the version on this page is the one that applies when you use InSite.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them or from your use of InSite.
