That sounds like the type of government you’d want in charge of building a new children’s hospital.

Choose your evil:

  • Incompetent non-corrupt gov 

  • Corrupt competent gov

This is what you think will happen, but it would be

  • Incompetent non-corrupt gov
  • Incompetent corrupt gov

u/BiDiTi 17d ago

I’m pretty sure those two are the next coalition.

It’s Schrödinger’s government, simultaneously corrupt and incompetent while capable of undertaking vast conspiracies.

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

Yeah building a metro line in less than 50 years would be too radical for Ireland to handle.

u/danmingothemandingo 18d ago

You think it's intentional 😂 What's your evidence of that

u/micosoft 18d ago

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.

u/DaRudeabides 18d ago

The Americans could do with a similar system

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.

Any conspiracy that involves more than 2 people won't stay secret for long.

u/Alastor001 18d ago

Sometimes even one when it's just a very talkative person

u/BillyMooney 18d ago

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.

He’s getting this garbage from America that’s for sure

u/urbudda 18d ago

"garbage" 🙄

Is “rubbish” more to your liking?

u/CoDn00b95 Tipperary 17d ago

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.

u/Potential-Drama-7455 18d ago

Fake news. He never said now

u/winarama 18d ago

The government can't even build a children's hospital but they can pull off a huge voter conspiracy? Yeah, sure 😂

u/Swordfish-Select 18d ago

But they can hide the fact its costing so much for so long. And the bike shed that has been forgotten...

u/No_Complex4113 18d ago

u/irish-riviera 17d ago

They also say we shouldnt pay more taxes because the government cant even manage a McDonalds. Cant have it both ways

u/tightlines89 Donegal 18d ago

But they can. They've been screwing the average Irish person on a large scale for some time now.
