Before The Oireachtas Screensaver
The Before The Oireachtas screensaver shows bills before the Irish houses, read live and key-less from the Oireachtas open API. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Before The Oireachtas screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
Bills before the Irish houses, read live and key-less from the Oireachtas open API. The sponsor and the type say more about a bill's odds than its title does: a private member's bill can sit at second stage for years while a government bill clears both houses in weeks.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
