Local government sees big picture and uses tech to get closer to citizens


A unique new project based at the end of the Luas line in Tallaght is using multimedia technology to create closer links with communities in south Co Dublin.
South Dublin County Council is to open an inter-active exhibition centre in December, which will allow it to better utilise the latest technologies to connect with the communities it serves – a move which sets it apart from any other local authority in Ireland.
Called ‘The Big Picture’, the three-floor centre is specially designed for the citizens of south Co Dublin, which encompasses the areas of Tallaght, Rathfarnham, Clondalkin/Rathcoole and Lucan/Palmerstown.
“This will be a centre open to the public where visual and relevant multimedia content will be exhibited for public interaction on council developments. The Big Picture plans to bring to life the current public consultation process for new developments and initiatives of South Dublin County Council,” says project manager, Máire Ni Dhomhnaill.
