North Direction for Geo

When using online map data, what should the North direction be set to? Is this always 90 degrees? I thought this was the case, but I have imported a map of Ireland and it looks as if it's  rotated by a few degrees around the point I used as my origin. 

     I work with Ordnance Survey 2D maps in Autocad a lot, and they have always been presented with North facing directly up - should  the online Autocad map not be oriented like this also? (If I enter 90 degrees ans the North orientation)
