Government isn’t able to promote progress

I was amongst the thousands who emigrated in the late 1940s and early 1950s, destination England where I spent the next 46 years working for one company for 38 years during which time they had me working in 14 different countries over 22 of them.

This gave me a good insight into how other countries managed their affairs.

As I was retired when I returned to Ireland it took me a while to compare how Ireland managed its affairs with the others. It was baffling to see a huge and costly but toothless tribunal examining suspect deeds of delinquent politicians.
