The 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.
