We’re still paying for the e-voting cock-up, but don’t expect apologies

ONE might have thought that those who were responsible for the electronic voting debacle would have learnt some humility from the experience.

It appears that this is not the case if we are to judge from an interview with Moncia Leech in one of last weekend’s Sunday newspapers. Her name will be familiar to readers because she used to be communications adviser to Martin Cullen when he was the Minister for Environment and Local Government and at the time there was much controversy about her contract.

She currently works as chief executive of Waterford Chamber of Commerce and last weekend’s interview was in the context of a campaign to have Waterford’s Institute of Technology designated a university.
