What would you do with 50k worth of ink?

He's probably selling them on the black market! Sometimes he would get coloured ones as well, but I'm not sure where he'd sell those..

I thought this ad association was funny when reading an Indo article this morning. Maybe Snoddy should take advantage.

Delighted to see the issue upfront again. He must have been thanking his lucky stars that the referendum was announced - it took the spotlight off him.


What was he doing with the cartridges?

I thought it was remiss of Enda to announce the referendum yesterday as it certainly did take the heat off of O Snodaigh.

I find all this very depressing.
In a few years time we will probably find these gentlemen in power in some sort of coalition arrangement.
Although I would never have been able to bring myself to vote for them I thought that at least they would bring some new found vigor and freshness to the political process.
Instead I find that they will more than likely be walking around smelling as though they had a piece of week old haddock wedged between their legs.
It looks as though it's going to take a few more generations to reach the standards of the Nordic states, to use one example. Given my age I'm unlikely to see it.
This country does not do morality. Or fair play. Or patriotism.
Could the crowd of muttoners sitting on Dail Standards in Public Office Commission, who so pathetically looked into the Ivor Callely pantomime, try to regain some of it's credibility by vigorously following this paper trail.
And ,Lads and Lassies, this time try to make sure that it saves money for the state rather than costing us even more!

Sunday Times (England) reports that Joe Costello, a junior minister, requested 32,000 Christmas cards from the Oireachtas print facility last year, more than twice as many as any other TD or senator.

Apparently the order meant he was almost able to send one to everyone who voted in Dublin Central last year. About 36,612 voters cast their ballots in the general election there, out of an electorate of 56,892.

For those that have a Times account, here is the link: http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/ireland/article986480.ece

32k of cards!

WOW!

(Overall, 101 TDs and senators printed 217,020 cards last Christmas.)
