TD Tracker (working title)

The Oireachtas website is very useful for browsing TDs' contributions. However, it lacks 2 things:

1. Easily accessible attendance data, and
2. High level summary on a TD's contributions and attendance.

This project aims to provide both things. We do that by first making the published attendance records more machine-readable (while still relatively human-readable). We then link attendance data to contribution data and present it in a single calendar view.

Getting Started

Running A Local Development Server
