Classic wastes of public money in the last few years?

You’re one to be talking about whiffs

There’s a whiff of British black ops off this story. That’s what there’s a whiff of. And the story being leaked to the “Irish” Daily Mail would do nothing to dispel that whiff.

Excess spend from 5 years ago making all the headlines the same week SF hit the 25% mark in a poll for the first time.

It was certainly planned. Doesn’t make the excesses of AOS right mind you.

I have a first hand account from the office next door to his that he was printing a ridiculous amount for the past few years but he was known throughout Leinster House as having the most active leafleting team in the Dáil. He ran a very intensive team of volunteers and was always printing something.

The comparisons with others are distorted, particularly the wider SF stats in the Mail today. The larger parties had access to their own printing presses also funded by the taxpayer.

The Workers Party used to have the best printing presses in the business.

€1.3 million for a sweet shop for Dail…

Opened in 2008 by two of the biggest bastards ever to enter the Dail. Bull O’Donoghue and Bertie Ahern. Well done lads.

Ah no way SS-surely a wind up? Hardly €1.3m for that it looks like a little paper stand.

That’s basically what it is lad. The boys didn’t want to have to walk to the shop.

Fair enough-what our masters want they shall have although I did see Gerry Adams on Dawson Street a few weeks ago and he’s a big oul unit the fucker.

The Government spent nearly €250,000 on this website:

€250,000??? That’s shocking. A crowd of work experience students would have done as good a job on minimum wage.

two hundred and fifty thousand euros

What would be a fair price for it?

Government departments have to publish details of purchase orders over 20k by quarter now. Some of the stuff is insane considering what’s being cut elsewhere. Road Safety Authority is above. Google the Dept of Defence one. Seems ridiculous to me some of the spending.

How much is this whole eu presidency going to cost? And what will we get out of it exactly??

I’d love to see a breakdown of it.
There’s probably translation costs etc involved, but even going by the design companies own website it’s well above their normal rate.

Can you imagine the shenanigans going on at under €20,000 that we never hear about!

700k for hi vis vests and other products, assume this for the year and not just Q3? what are these for are they resold does anyone know?

PWC 192k to supervise/audit the NCT for Jan/Feb/March. :lol: the same bunch of useless cunts who gave the nct the all clear just before the Prime Time investigation ;ast year exposed the whole system as a sham open to being raped by a few mechanics.

It’s a PO raised in Q3. You’d have to check the other quarters to know.

Anyone care to put a price on the logo below. (It’s for the new Dole Office system).
