Further Things That Are Wrong (Part 2)

It was in COVID as well.

Ok, HSE Management should be completely unaccountable and keep getting money shoveled at them so to do as they wish.

sure lookit, weā€™lll give them a blank cheque and im sure theyll deliver a world class health system, just as good and bestest in the world as the childrens hospital will be

Have the Department of Finance created an expectation that the HSE will get a supplementary budget because they have always done so in the past, and hence the HSE have spent on that basis?

Some fucked up way to run any organisation never mind a health service.

Finance give the HSE their budget of x for the year, top it up by a billion every year, and then give them a budget of x again the next year. Sure itā€™s nonsense.

I donā€™t think anyone was pointing fingers at cork. They were pointing fingers at pork barrelling. Possibly unfairly, but given the history of politics in the Republic, itā€™s certainly plausible.

This is what i meant @backinatracksuit

And my point is that anybody who receives 100k will not be profiting on the entire exchange.
I donā€™t believe for a second that the county of birth of the Minister for Finance has any bearing on this, @EstebanSexface made a good point earlier, healthy regional towns are essential, Midleton happened to be prospering and hopefully will continue to do so

id say Midleton has a grim enough future as climate change gets worse and these flood become a lot more regular, hopefully the nature based solutions can help though

Itā€™s not that much of a stretch.

I think it is,
I donā€™t even believe that the minister for finance can go off on solo runs any more than any other minister, and thereā€™s lots not from Cork

It was approved at cabinet where Martin and Coveney would be big hitters.

It seems strange that a jump from 20k to 100k on the standard level of compensation would occur. Itā€™s huge.

I donā€™t think thereā€™s any minister in the Cork East constituency
100k is still a drop in the ocean for sone of the larger businesses, Iā€™ve heard the Super Valu runs into millions

Would it be in everyones interest to leave Midleton entirely ?

Presumably insurance will cover most damage?

Weird how farmers who raise cows to kill and eat are so worried about their welfare

Heā€™s out on bail anyway. I would imagine heā€™s pretty unlikely to shoot another trespasser if heā€™s let back in the gate.

Most wouldnā€™t have had flood cover is what Iā€™ve heard

Heā€™s as mad as a box of frogs - I wouldnā€™t put anything past him
