Cork south central here. Have been trying to get in touch with @MichealMartinTD for years about my work to include people in data collection following the launch of the iPhone. Got this leaflet saying to keep in touch but they never answer or call back.

Read #TheDemocracyGap Policy Dossier — a citizen contribution to Ireland's #EUPresidency on our institutional incapacity for engaging #citizens in basic research, data collection, systems building and innovation pathways. Written in the constituency of the EU Commissioner for Democracy @EUCssrMcGrath who has ignored all my phone calls & meeting requests and @MichealMartinTD Ireland's outgoing Taoiseach who is very busy working on the housing crisis. litterweek.org/tdg

Thanks to a custom #clusterize algorithm that we created and open sourced, all OLM global data (or any large set of data points) loads instantly in 1.7kb

Great to see North Carolina State University @NCSU #LitterPack embrace #openlittermap openlittermap.com/global?lat…

So far @MichealMartinTD has done nothing

Fantastic to hear the @WHO will visit Togher next week and learn nothing of the 18 years of citizen science excluded from Ireland's broken institutions

To celebrate Ireland's #EUPresidency, I have documented my 18+ years of structural exclusion in #TheDemocracyGap — a policy dossier on Ireland's structural barriers to independent citizen postgraduate-led research & innovation in civc tech Written in Cork South Central, constituency of @MichealMartinTD and @EUCssrMcGrath who have ignored all of my emails and meeting requests.

To celebrate Ireland's #EUPresidency I am doing a MAPS FOI audit to determine what Ireland's institutions have been able to achieve for #citizenscience following the launch of the iPhone drive.google.com/file/d/1RZ3… Sadly, it won't take very long. So far I have received 2 records from my local @MichealMartinTD at dept of @taoiseach both records are emails I sent to them asking about citizen science. Next week @corkcitycouncil will host the @WHO at an EU Mayors Summit on #Climate & #Health. They will visit #togher where openlittermap has been in development since 2008 following the launch of the iPhone. They will continue to do absolutely nothing to support the development of public scientific inclusion to protect health and build socio-economic resilience.
