Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 May 2024
358. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage his plans to develop a website that offers the same benefits as a website (details supplied) for persons to report issues in the public realm. [22813/24]
View answerThe fixyourstreet.ie website was a shared service of local authorities, operated by South Dublin County Council on behalf of all 31 local authorities, which ceased operations from 5 August 2022. Following the closure of fixyourstreet.ie, service issues should be reported to each individual local authority.
While my Department managed the funding for shared services in the set up phase via the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), neither I nor my Department had a role in the operation of the fixyourstreet.ie shared service nor in the decision that the service would cease. There are currently no plans within my Department to develop or fund the development of a replacement for fixyourstreet.ie.
