    Next Sunday (26th) sees the 13th Anniversary of the start of the Moriarty Tribunal. It's only cost us €200million so far and is still not completed.... Wonder where the party is on to celebrate it.... Given that our Politicians are into toasting failure!

    Very true. The Guards don't seem to get the chance to investigate much of the shady dealings in Ireland. They need a dedicated financial crimes/forensic accounting unit.
