This is built directly from the PDFs published on http://limerick.ie, but arranged by date + readable via GitHub's built-in search

Want to find every mention of “bus lane” in 2024 meetings? You can.

Local government decisions affect us all. But the info is often buried in PDFs few people ever read.

This project is about making that info easily searchable and available to all. If you’re interested in any topics that might have come up in council meetings take a look.

As an example, I'm interested in what discussions there have been around cycling so far this year. I can search like this and see where it has came up.

I can see there was a question on the agenda regarding extending the UL greenway which is of interest to me.

Replies to questions aren't currently scanned in this project but I can access meeting detail, see that there is a file with replies to questions and access the original file directly on http://limerick.ie

So now I can easily find the original question and reply which otherwise I probably never would have seen.

https://limerick.ie is a fantastic resource and has 1222 publicly listed meetings since 2014. Counting agendas and minutes there are 2056 file available.

But finding information can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
