    Kiki Cuddles,

    • RTE Scandals: But how are the Health Services run? RTE should be covering it. Health Service workers burnout.
    • Irish Rail: New IT system into the bin. 50 Million quid, could pay for Bike Sheds, Nurses and list of other badly needs things for the country.

    That new jingle really gets old quickly and grates on you.

    Only 50 million, PPARS was over twice this.

    The HSE’s Personnel, Payroll and Related Systems (PPARS) cost an estimated €130 million to €220 million before its national rollout was formally abandoned in 2007. Originally estimated at roughly €9.1 million in 1998, the project was heavily criticised by the Comptroller and Auditor General for poor management and massive cost overruns.

    Yes, could pay Derek for 25 years with the cost of the aborted project.

    Come on Kieran, when your own organisation is squeaky clean you can lambaste other government departments but not til then.

    What about RTE's HR system, 3.6 million.

    Kieran listed the number of things that the €50 million could be spent on, train carriages, HSE staff, bike sheds, etc. And at the end you have nothing.

    That money could have paid for just over 200 Kieran Cuddihy salaries, and at the end you'd have nothing as well.

    We don’t do forward planning sez Kieran. Like when Joes retirement was coming up and there was no plan for his replacement.

    Kieran doesn't show this much faux level of outrage when it's RTE(his employer) in the cross hairs.

    Why did no one say stop, surely the project had milestones, if they weren't being met and it was so off budget, why keeping throwing good after bad

    "This isn't art. It's just a barbecue that pushed me too far! Didn't you? Didn't you?!"

    The only good thing I can say about Kieran compared to Joe is he’ll have forgotten this subject tomorrow and we won’t be getting a week of it!
