Keep up the good work Gavin. You have more 'staying power' than I had.
I used to have eirbiz.com which I innocently thought would make a difference. I got the impression that no one was interested in the reality that was 'politics' in Ireland. The whole shebang was just a club of ALL the parties who didn't want the boat to be rocked…a nice cosy little club where, no matter how inept or crooked a member was, they couldn't be castigated in public or sacked.
The FOI is our best weapon and any money spent chasing up the 'gravy train fiddles' would be money well spent.
Accountability is the answer. Unfortunately, every time a politician mentions that word, I get a tremendous urge to get sick.
