govDashboard.ie

Government Dashboard was created to track the data that matters to people in Ireland.

govdashboard.ie is a crowdsourced, single source of truth for data points across:

• Housing
• Income
• Health

How it works

• Anyone can make an update to the dashboard when new data becomes available. See "Contributing" below.
• All info in the dashboard is backed up with a link from a reputable source.
• All sources and history is available in the github repo along with who made the updates.
