Dude has clearly never done any work that involves public sector. After dealing with public sector work for about a day you would know for sure the Irish government is completely unable to pull off any of what's suggested here.
Kinda wish we were competent enough for this to be something that could be considered a possibility lmao
The incompetence and gridlock is build into the system on purpose, to minimise the damage one dangerous idiot in power can do, buy burying them in red tape. Gridlock is annoying, but it's infinitely preferable to change so rapid it causes the whole system to shake apart
Having a permanent civil service and an independent judiciary is the “evidence”. It’s by design to ensure change is competent and legal at the cost of speed.
And the cost of penalty clauses too looking at the way BAM just keep adding millions every week to their original quote. They obviously are totally incompetent at organising tenders and the contracts around them.
I see we've instantly gone from "the public sector is awful because its too powerful" to "the public sector is awful because its incompetent".
The usual breadth of neo-con opinion on r/Ireland.
If you watch last week's Prime Time Investigates special on the illegal importers and sellers of 'skinny pens' (Ozempic), you'll see how the importers were only too delighted to tell their stories about how they were doing their thing to people they've just met on Facebook a day earlier.
I'll be thinking of you later when I drive to the gas station to drop off my trash at the recycling bank, before heading in to buy some diapers for my neighbour and putting them in the trunk before driving home. I'll be sure to keep an eye out at the highway by the gas station, too—never know when the cops might have the speed cameras out.
