Lesson of Punchestown

THE Punchestown events centre fiasco is another example of mismanagement, passing the buck and waste of taxpayers’ money by this Government.

I’m surprised that political commentators have not raised the single most important aspect of this fiasco, namely the secrecy of the Government.

This is a prime example of why the Government emasculated the Freedom of Information Act; it does not want the ordinary citizen to know or find out how government is conducted.
