Waste of Money

It's the biggest recession since I don't know when. Our Health care system is in bits. We still don't have a motorway the whole way from Dublin to Cork or Galway.

But there is money to paint lampposts! Yes, I can confirm that the lampposts in our estate were given a fresh coat of paint last week. Since our estate was recently turned over to the County council, I have to assume that this work was funded by tax payers. 

On the other hand, the three street lights at the top of the estate are still not working - it's a big dark area when you walk into the estate at night. And I know that some of the residents rang the County council months ago to report these - after being bounced around from department to department, they were told that it would get done in due course!

The powers that be clearly know how to prioritise!
