# Reuse and attribution notes

This is an engineering aid, not legal advice.

Checked on 25 August 2026:

- The Central Bank of Ireland `robots.txt` allows `/` and disallows `/App_Browsers/`, `/App_Data/`, `/App_Master/`, and `/Sitefinity/`. The tool reads the live file rather than relying on this snapshot.
- The Bank's Re-use of Public Sector Information page says its website information may be reused without prior permission, subject to its licence and disclaimer.
- The linked standard PSI licence is consistent with CC BY 4.0. It requires source acknowledgement, excludes personal information, third-party rights, trademarks, crests, logos and official symbols, prohibits implied endorsement, and provides the information without warranty.
- Individual resources can carry more restrictive or third-party terms. The CKAN dataset licence title and URL are retained in the manifests so exceptions can be reviewed.

Recommended attribution when no resource-specific wording is supplied:

> Contains Irish Public Sector Information licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence.

Also name the Central Bank of Ireland and link to the original resource where practical. Clearly identify modifications.
