Dublin Dashboard

Why produce a Dublin Dashboard?

So that the following kinds of questions can be easily answered via one site:◦ How well is Dublin performing?◦ What’s happening in the city right now?◦ Where are the nearest facilities to me?◦ What are the patterns of population, employment, crime, housing, etc in the city?

◦ What are the future development plans?◦ How do I report issues about the city?◦ How can I freely access data about the city?
