I want to create a website that allows the user to enter in their address and get back their local representatives in Ireland.
So the way I see this working is that I use some google tool to define what the regions (electoral constituencies) are in Ireland and then when a user enters their address google returns which region they are located in.
Can anyone explain how I would do that?
