If its depressing don’t tell us, the HSE can’t cope with mental health issues as it is……./s
They really should issue a statement every year detailing what percentage of your taxes went where to help people understand what it means to pay taxes
People want to see simple things getting better, road outside estate fixed with no pot holes, new bus shelters, proper footpaths, there is no signs that these simple basic things are getting better we have no hope expecting major things like HSE improving… yet they are talking about building a Nuclear Plant!? Keep dreaming
They gave it all to fucking Joe. FFS.
Almost two years into this goverment and zero progress has been made on housing, health, infrastructure, public transport. The rot continues.
The infuriating thing is that you can get high level information (CSO etc) but you can’t drill down to find the really granular stuff which is where you’d be gasping for air at the expenditure. CSO are not really FOI’able for lots of data (found out recently), and that was just me asking for line item categories (not receipts, just categorizations) on c. 10bn of public expenditure on a certain area of welfare 😞
Someone wants to send this to Sinead?

This columnist has popped up a bit recently and her articles seem to have a fair bit of AI help.
That’s a really good article.
It’s depressing and a story that’s for subscribers only so what’s the point 🤷🏻♂️
The article is just silly assertions. Claiming that all Irish doctors who leave are replaced by locums is just false.
Why post these articles when we CANNOT READ THEM???
The overhaul of the Public Sector needed to bring value back to our public spending would be so severe it would shut the country down . But until it happens we are doomed to repeat the failures of the last 20 yrs. A small step would be to introduce a culture of fear at senior levels around under performance ,accountability and inability to deliver. If the country had any realisation how inefficient ,incompetent and frankly borderline useless the majority of our public sector especially civil service are there would be mutiny,proably best they don’t know….and it all boils down to a culture of zero accountability….
