Re-use of Public Sector Information

The 2019 Directive (2019/1024/EU) on Open Data & Re-Use of Public Sector Information (Open Data Directive), has been transposed into Irish law by S.I. No. 376 of 2021, the European Communities (Open Data & Re-use of Public Sector Information) Regulations 2021, which repeals S.I. No. 279/2005 as amended by S.I.No. 525/2015.

Home Building Finance Ireland (HBFI) complies with these Regulations and encourages the re-use of the information that we produce.

HBFI publishes information on its website (www.hbfi.ie ) and under the Freedom of Information Act Publication Scheme, available at https://www.hbfi.ie/freedom-of-information/freedom-of-information-publication-scheme. You may re-use the information on the HBFI website free of charge in any format. Re-use includes copying, issuing copies to the public, publishing, broadcasting and translating into other languages.
