<h2>What is it good for?</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
With this app we want to provide insights into local county and city planning processes in Ireland. We do this by notifying users | ||
of planning applications that have been submitted in their local area via Twitter as well as enabling exploration | ||
of planning applications in a street-level view. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
Citizens benefit directly from learning about ongoing planning applications and the work of the town or county | ||
council is made transparent, hence brings citizen closer to their local government. | ||
For SMEs in the construction area, the app provide additional insights that might serve as a basis for business decisions. | ||
</p> | ||

<h2>Who is behind this?</h2> | ||

<ul> | ||

<li>An application feed from Fingal County Council's <a href="http://data.fingal.ie/" title="Fingal Open Data">Open Data portal</a>.</li> | ||
<li>An application dump, covering six RoI counties, provided by the Local Government Computer Services Board (used with permission, but not yet available under an open license - we're working on it ;)</li> | ||
