I presume http://www.fixyourstreet.ie/ website is still being run by SDCC staff on behalf of the other councils as they set it up
I've emailed the people responsible over the last 2 years asking for the problems to be fixed, they seem to have gotten the resources to build it but no more to fix problems with it. they said they'd upgrade it 'in few weeks' in October https://twitter.com/FixYourStreet/status/393294212206059520 and 'in a few weeks' in December https://twitter.com/lostexpectation/status/410807640097173504
I got email via Dermot Looney saying they would upgrade to 2.5 in the comming weeks.
http://www.fixyourstreet.ie/api?task=version still not done Autumn 2016.

Report links in Email
the email alerts still have no link back to the report on the website so you can see it in place and the response, I managed to add a email link in a ushahidi install code myself with no problem so they must be able to do so too.
Cllr May Mckeown wants to be informed of incidents in her area see video http://www.fingalcoco.public-i.tv/core/share/open/webcast/0/0/560/115776/115776/webcast/start_time/5402000
I would like to recommend the 5km circle 'Get Alerts' feature to May Mckeown but the email alerts still have no link back to the report on the website, which makes it a much less useful a feature, then it could be. ( I emailed her this suggestion but can't really recommmend it to councillors without the link in the email to the reports)

the timeline on the frontpage has stuck on wrong month since the start, there's a fix for that http://community.ushahidi.com/index.php/plugins/plugin/timespan put it too last 30 days for eg Update 2016 shows last 30 days not selecteable though :/

also want to download reports in csv format using this plugin https://github.com/rjmackay/Ushahidi-plugin-downloadreports to be able to re-upload to separate install of ushahidi for analysis or for other analysis the api doesn't allow to download all reports
not added but tried using api
i acknowledge the work they've done to set this up and get it to work with all the different councils and their systems, but I cannot accept them not fixing these things, I've been following this for years cheerleading various version of the mysociety fixmystreet idea and tried to contribute by spotting bugs and by trying some analysis of the incidents but can't really do so with out the responses included in the public api http://dublinstreams.blogspot.ie/2013/04/the-fix-your-street-effect.html
2016 bugs
Reports icons not declustering on frontpage map.
