Michael Walsh locally has been there a good number of years now at a guess about 9/10.....does that mean he could be gone at end of this year....?

They don't have to leave after seven years, as some of them would be way too young for retirement, but they can move to another organisation and take on a role at the same level. The idea being that mobility is a good thing, and fresh ideas come with it.

Michael Doody for about 900 years,an accountant balanced the books perfectly always, but absolutely nothing happened for years, he on his own held Waterford back for twenty years. Con Murray followed,good guy but had his eye always on a bigger job,. Eddie Breen then good guy, did some service but moved to WEX to be closer to home. Michael Walsh with his faults is far better for Waterford Inc, he may be ****e at balancing books n, but gets things done

Sitting on hands continuously with regard to housing crisis while finding avenues for funding for regeneration of business/commercial areas by any means possible. As I say, doing an excellent job by any measure, for one section of the population while completely neglecting a significant portion of other responsibilities.

I hear what you are saying,but unless the City is blossoming none of what you speak of will never be done because of lack of resources. I would not agree nothing is being done as regards housing,there are a couple of schemes ongoing with s very large tranche of both private and public coming on stream in 2019

I mean imagine discussing the record of the current position holder in a thread specifically about the position. The obscenity. Start a knitting group or something if you only want to hear opinions that agree with your own. Thats not really how discussion forums work.

Or giving out about a lack of social housing on another thread just cause you can't afford to buy a house I dont need/want to buy a house. I dont need a social house. Not every opinion held is directed by self interest, indeed I feel that's a major issue with how people act/vote in general. I just dont feel the same level of effort and energy is devoted toward solving problems effecting the public good/welfare as is clearly being devoted to economic concerns under the present administration. And I include Michael Walsh in that every bit as much as Leo Varadkar.

Why don't you just get a bloody job, work hard, save, get a deposit and buy a house rather than expecting a free house from the council.

The pig headed Irish "Why dont you just get a job". Let me guess, you: Mid 50s, walked into job after school, bought a house for the equivalent of about €20 in todays money, thinks the young crowd have it too handy these days. Am I warm? Cos I think I'm bubbling tbh.
