HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE have logged on to a new government website in the past week to log complaints about everything from potholes to broken street lights to pest problems.
Fixyourstreet.ie allows residents to report an issue either by sending a tweet, an email, or filling in a form on the website.
The service is currently only available in the South County Dublin area, but there are plans to roll it out to cover the whole country. This trial version will last for three months.
Many of the complaints received so far do fall outside the area covered by South Dublin County Council. In fact, there have been problem areas spotted all over the country:
Let's have a look at some of the scourges out on the streets and housing estates of the country:
Not so welcoming
HOLES ON ROAD!
Not U2 fans?
Windmill Lane
Some little funk
Your mission, should you choose to accept it
Crazy bike trap pothole
Dead treet
Dead cat
Pooper scooper

A large number of the complaints relate to dangerous or damaging potholes, illegal dumping and graffiti. Some of those reporting problems have included pictures, but the pictures are very small, almost too small to appreciate some of the problems illustrated.
There is also an option for visitors to the site to vote on the 'credibility' of the complaint.
