An ill wind blowing for the Irish taxpayer

Some of us might remember in school being force-fed that essays, among other things, had to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The same could be said of organisations and businesses, unless the shareholders decide to migrate it to another sector and, thus, create another life for it.
