How does she drive if she has a bad shoulder?

The government has form here in outsourcing to India. Land registry maps are one example. Loads of mistakes uncovered. It's a scandal that'll blow up soon

No wonder her shoulder is sore, being on the phone for two months

PBH: "Nobody can manage on that [€198 weekly benefit]"

Cannot believe he said that!

The bright side, if there is one, is the arrears should arrive in time for xmas.

Lots of people on the sick. Serious sense of entitlement

We should get all the people on social welfare to run Social Welfare. Problem solved, Joe.

"Yes, we can do that, and for half the price."

"Great, so. Here's a contract."

"Sorry, we fecked it up, but look, here's another deal. We can sort it out for very little extra indeed."

"Grand, so. Here's another contract."

Did the department outsource anything to India I wonder? Sounds like the unholy alliance of Accenture and India involved, when I hear a new computer system was implemented

The libraries computer system was some years ago changed to a California based one with no real time assistance. It was implemented overnight with only an offline sample introduction day implemented by the most junior grade 3 entry level staff (brilliant people that they were) who had worked out a way the dedicated university system might be used in a public library system. Staff were left like complete remits for a while with public bitterly complaining at their “inefficiency”. All introduced by stealth and taken away from local authorities by the Government of Ireland. System works well now, no small thanks to the lowest paid staff who taught the formless management.

That bit was ridiculous. If you're in work and have various voluntary commitments and expenses, they should be the first to get the chop if your income plummets to disability payment levels, no matter for how long.

ICS mortgages - property investment mortgages. There's a disaster waiting to happen if ever I've seen one.

Have to be seen to be wishing to be back at work. Some might be running little businesses on de side so to speak, with welfare payment very welcome.
