<dt>Why do you only cover the countries of Great Britain?</dt>
- <dd>We would love to cover Northern Ireland, but as we were funded for
- FixMyStreet by the Department for Constitutional Affairs (now the Ministry
- of Justice), we were covered for Ordnance Survey data (but not OSNI data)
- by the Pan-Governmental Agreement. The cost for these maps would be
- prohibitively expensive for the small charity that we are &ndash; if you know of
- any way we could get access to the Ordnance Survey for Northern Ireland's
- maps so that we can add them to the site, that'd be great.</dd>
