Hi, Philip from Reusing Dublin / Space Engagers here.

Great to see more mapping of these spaces. And a great interface.

We had shared some of your features on vacant sites on social media etc… over the past months.

Just to confirm – Reusing Dublin was originally part of a research project in UCD – and we have now given the platform to Peter McVerry Trust, who approached us about it earlier this year. They took over just recently, same address – [http://www.reusingdublin.ie](http…

We think and hope it will work well for them – a clear focus on housing, and an existing presence and network should all help with crowdsourcing – and the main purpose is to raise awareness. Main contacts – Francis Doherty and Nyle Lennon.

To echo Peter’s comment above, it would be great if DublinInquirer could help promote this and somehow combine the data. The initiative above, with so many committed volunteers, is exactly what they need.

Aoife and myself would be more than happy to meet and share all knowledge.

We are now focussing on creating better tools (open source) and launching them in other towns and cities, through a new social enterprise – SpaceEngagers. Check out twitter feed @SpaceEngagers
