Official Ireland deals out cuts as it eats foie gras

When is the last time you were positively surprised by a decision in Official Ireland?

Have you seen any politician or civil servant announce a plan, initiative, or idea that had a direct or indirect consequence that made your life better?

Can you envisage anything looming ahead that might resemble a move forward in the state of our country? If the answers to these questions are no, you are joining a fast-growing cohort in Irish society. The more it happens, the greater a probability of an energetic backlash. When it comes, those in power may not be prepared.
