Information Technology

2003 saw a continuation of the substantial developments of recent years in the provision if I.T. services. Facilities were installed in the One Stop Shop in Tubbercurry to support a new Motor tax office, a new modern Library with public access PC’s, a new area office and a number of other offices which were re-located from County Hall. A new Library Management System has been available since January 2003 which gives the public online access to Library catalogues. This system provides the facility for a user to check if a particular book is available and to reserve it online.

I.T. facilities have been put in place in the new Environment offices which were opened in Cleveragh enabling access to all systems that are available in County Hall. Sligo Borough Council web site was launched to give public online access to information on all services provided by the Borough.
 
This will provide the basis for future developments enabling the provision of online services. Intranet rollout and training of staff has been completed and usage is increasing throughout the organisation.

Substantial progress has been made in Geographical Information System in 2003. All planning applications received since 01/ 2003 are digitally recorded onto the Digital Planning Register. The historical database has also been converted into a digital version and is widely available. Other databases are being added as they become available: ie Roads, water/sewage networks.

A PC is available at the public counter for public viewing of planning applications, both current and historical.
