Location details

Coordinates: 53.41114, -6.32088
Geometry licence: all-rights-reserved
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_regulator_register_installation_site_centre_grid_reference
Authority: Compiled location reference
Source entity: Campus
Method: epa_register_national_grid_reference_irish_grid_tm75_to_wgs84_pyproj_3_7_1
Derivation: coordinate_transform
Precision scope: Site-centre point of the c. 11.97 ha Huntstown installation from the EPA register's National Grid Reference N241401 E311706 (the applicant's 'Site Centre Point'), transformed from Irish Grid (TM75) to WGS84. It locates the campus, not Building A or B, a footprint, an entrance or the boundary.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The register gives a single site-centre grid reference at 1 m resolution with no stated survey accuracy for an 11.97 ha site; the offset to either data hall is unknown. The TM75-to-WGS84 operation is rated at 1 m; the alternative operation moves the point 2.2 m. Decimal places are arithmetic precision.
Geometry evidence: 0191d0ec

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
