A chara, – I am a tad confused by the Government euphoria at the birth of our newest baby in Quangoland, ie Irish Water . . . 1. Weren’t baby Quangos supposed to become an extinct species under Fine Gael/Labour? 2. Irish Water is clouded in secrecy but will be a shining example of Freedom of Information openness . . . soon. 3. It will be overstaffed by a factor of two, pay a fortune to consultants, have an admin to rival the HSE, but save us billions. 4. It must be the first company worldwide proposing voluntary redundancies before it becomes anywhere close to functional. 5. “The creation of Irish Water will knock 2 per cent of GDP off the national debt” as we hide the debt under the financial carpet. 6. Pat Rabbitte blames the troika, while I thought we celebrated its demise over a month ago. 7. “The economic argument for metering is questionable” but the leaks continue unabated. 8. Guess who’s going to pay for the rearing of this new baby? 9. When is the promised democratic revolution set to begin? Maybe this is it. – Is mise,
