FixMyStreet.ie was originally created to raise awareness about local infrastructure issues in Ireland — from potholes and broken streetlights to general public safety concerns. We're now proud to bring that focus under the umbrella of Irish-Energy.ie, where we explore how smarter infrastructure and energy-efficient solutions can improve streets and communities across the country.
From solar-powered street lighting to environmentally-friendly road materials, the future of Ireland’s public spaces lies in sustainable upgrades. At Irish-Energy.ie, we highlight how smarter planning, clean energy, and community action can create safer, more resilient neighbourhoods.
Why Streets Matter
Potholes and damaged roads are more than just a nuisance — they’re a serious public safety risk and a costly problem for local councils. Poor infrastructure can impact emergency response times, damage vehicles, discourage footfall to local businesses, and lower overall quality of life. When left unaddressed, they lead to expensive long-term repairs and greater environmental impact.
Energy-Efficient Solutions
Cleaner streets and smarter public infrastructure are part of Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon future. Solutions like solar-powered lighting, improved drainage systems, and smart traffic controls not only reduce emissions but also cut long-term maintenance costs for local authorities.
Community Impact
We spoke to Irish-Energy.ie about the connection between infrastructure and sustainability. Keeping streets clean, well-lit, and efficiently maintained not only improves safety — it also supports Ireland’s broader goals of energy efficiency, resilience, and quality of life for future generations.
