If other sources come along that also use RSS, I can grab them into the site automatically too. That's terrible re Blarney. Water cut-off is a public health emergency as far as I'm concerned. Apart from drinking water, people forget that you lose the ability to flush toilets or wash hands. that's why we were so annoyed with that "not my problem" asshole in the council.

Water disappeared here in Blarney twice 2 weeks ago within the space of 3 days. It's one of those essentials that you don't realise are so important until it's gone. It was doubly bad for us taking care of Adam, making up bottles and the rest of the baby stuff! Bandon isn’t the only place to suffer a water outage.

Excellent idea Conor! It's a pity people will have to 'hunt and peck' for the @ character on their mobiles to text the issues but still, this is a terrific use of twitter. And regular users can always setup a text template or draft. :-) Just saw the twitter page and accompanying webpage aggregator this morning. Excellent idea Conor!
