Readers Blog: Brass necks and lack of accountability

What a wonderfully creative country for self-exoneration with a perpetual penchant for self-forgiveness against all the odds and evidence. Wiping the slate clean is seemingly where it’s at — no need for any awkward dallying in the sanction or discipline zone. No thank you, sir.

Just blithely and brazenly state that you and your cronies have corrupted and manipulated a tsunami of operational returns to suit career advancement, and that’s it — no investigation, no nasty repercussions please. Just sally on regardless. Garda management take a bow!

Nice one. Cover-ups, denials, and blaming anyone/everyone but oneself is de rigeur — a noble(?) testament to the badge of (dis)honourable behaviour.
