The prototype website is at http://dev.vocalvoter.com and can currently identify who your elected reps *are* if you live in Dublin City, Leitrim, Mayo or anywhere in Co Galway. We're adding more data as we're able to process it; it's proving to be rather a slow process but la lutte continue... http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_129553 Please could someone tell me whether the Irish version has been created yet? Thank you! http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_9232 Well, I know I'm not allowed to share the register itself, but it would be relatively simple to extract the index of streets, which is what's required. I'm not sure if even this would be kosher with the abovementioned acts, however. http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_9230 You're certainly not allowed to share it, Ryan - Data Protection Act and the Electoral Acts! http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_8824 I'd be happy to help out with the programming side of things. Phoning up people, OTOH, is not something you want me doing. I'm pretty crap there. http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_8797 I have also thought about getting something like this in the past, I'm glad somebody's finally doing it. I now work in the Dáil so I'm not going to sign up to the pledge in case there's a conflict of interest, but please keep me informed and I will see how I can help. For example, I have an electronic copy of the electoral register for part of Dublin, but I don't think I'm allowed to share it. http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_8747 I do not have programming skills but I am very persuasive on the phone. I will also have a few weeks off work after Friday so will have plenty of time. http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_8736 I can do some of the phoning bit... http://www.pledgebank.com/faxyourTD#comment_8712 I'd be happy to help, once I get back to Ireland (in a few weeks). I've been planning just that for a while now!
