OPW and projected cost of 442K for Modular Homes

From today's IT

They offer a value solution..…until they become Government contracts.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Hanlons razor.

Look at the mess they are making of the children's hospital. BAM is the developer and threes not a hint of cronyism. Simply the state cannot manage a watertight contract and manage a project. They are seen as an easy mark with an open checkbook.

Unless there is evidence to the contrary - i will attribute it to the incompetency of the state, its lack of respect for public funds and the lack of any will to fight for value for money, as its not their money - it come from the magic money tree inside the public purse!

Follow the money 🤔

Think it honestly makes no odds at this stage, ff and fg could squander a million each on them n we'll re-elect them anyway!

It's absolutely ******* ridiculous, isn't it ?

Why has nobody started a new thread on the real reason behind all this?

Tribunals are just for lads to flaunt how much they got away with. It's a rite of passage. They have a little chuckle if the tribunal costs millions and runs for years. And the beauty is that they only have to say a hail mary and 4 our fathers and they go to heaven. Amazing really. So, long as you are wealthy it does not matter how you got that wealth, you will be respected. Just steer clear of anything sexually related and you'll be grand.

The HSE would be number 1 on my list. Can't even imagine the waste going on there?

Why don't we just import them, these would proably come on the ferry from Spain,
