Ever ask yourself? 

• Where’s my nearest blue flag beach?
• How much water does my house consume?
• What senior citizen supports are in my area?
• Is there a route safe enough for my children to cycle to their school?

If you answer yes to any of these questions and you are interested in developing ideas and/or creating new businesses Ireland’s First Open Data 18-hr Challenge is for you!

Open Data is part of a new wave of governance. Public data is being released across the world, with the aim to inform citizens, stimulate new economic activity, innovation and competition, and foster cultures of openness whereby governments are more responsive and accountable to their citizens.
