Oh.
The people behind the dormant MyGov.ie share their ongoing frustration at being mixed up with government website MyGovId.ie.
Stop it now.
Thanks Janet

And then you say MyGovd.ie when it’s MyGovid.ie. If you’re going to be a pedant at least be right.
Thanks Brian, fixed now.
Jesus I sounded awful bitchy there. I’ll go get a coffee. Sorry.
Not at all!
What is the point of mygov.ie
There is nothing on their website so why do they care? Are they just squatters who opportunistically want to make money selling the domain? If so screw the parasites. Annoyed that the state won’t give them money for their poxy domain?
Grasping opportunism cloaked in righteous outrage.
The page source reveals the old text:
This is the spartan home of MyGov, a not-for-profit Irish organisation.
We’re dedicated to making free web applications which improve the relationship between elected representatives and State organisations, and the residents of Ireland.
Between now and when this page says something more interesting, here are the projects we operate today:
* KildareStreet.com tracks debates and questions and members of the Irish parliament, and
* FixMyStreet delivers your reports about things in your area which need fixing to the correct local authority, everywhere in Ireland, tells you what’s going on in your neighbourhood, and lets you keep track of your issues in public.
(I took out the HTML code and hyperlinks for easier reading.)
I’d say it’s a legit page, not a domain squatter. I also have a domain that’s little more than an explanatory text on the front page, and which I use for the testing of new projects (not visible to users) before I move these projects to their new respective domains.
@Brunvik, A completely clear , timely and lucid explanation for the page. Thanks. And a delightful alternative to the “Insta-Anger ” of so many commentators on social media. Chapeau.
According to the wayback machine, It’s been like that for a decade. 10 years to “say something more interesting”. Give it another 2 years and they’ll have squatters’ rights.

“If you have the card you can go to mygov.ie and fill out the form and you will be responded to within days. If you don’t have one, go to welfare.ie and download the form and send it back by freepost to PO BOX 12896,” Minister Doherty said.

This, they could have offloaded the domain already or even better redirect you automatically via DNS. At the very least they should have smothered it in hardcore porn and millions of pop up ads for dodgy drugs. That’s learn em
surprised there isn’t a mycov.id website yet.
