If your from an area or living in an area i think you should be active, if you see probelms call the guards if there are constant problems get in touch with your local councillor thats what they are for and you are the people who pay them and thats how we make things better, my local councillor is sick of me calling him but at the end of the day im his boss, we elect them and our tax's pay thier wages, With the roads and anit social behaviour theres always something to get onto them about!

Finnbar01 wrote: » It doesn't make a difference if we are talking about a multinational or not, the fallacy this applies. At the end of the day someone somewhere has to pay for it. Granted, the fire (AFAIK) was an accident, but destruction doesn't lead to prosperity.
spankmemunkey wrote: » It clearly does, the insurance company prospered by them paying their insurance premiums to them, the insurance company are in business because Eddie Rockets pay their premiums and they hire staff to cope with the demand, The "Accident" happend and now many many other people with profit from this as there will be work created for many people who are or nearly are out of business, like tradesmen etc etc, Electricians Painters Tilers glazers funrniture companies food companies wholesale suppliers the list is endless, it might not be a windfall but it just keeps things ticking over, If it was a case of them not having insurance and having to pay for all of this out of their own pocket then i think your theory would apply! This situation benefits more people than it affects, the staff are being kept on and probably on paid leave aswell. It will generate money in Waterford something thats needed especially now with B+Q going at the end of the month and now 36 people in a brewery!

The same crew travels around and fits them out because they manufacturer 'x' amount of furniture/fittings in house. The only local labour they use is maybe a labourer or two depending on the size of the refit. So, the moral of the story is, unless you want a gang of shopfitters from Dublin or Belfast chatting up your women in the pubs at night, don't set fire to a chain store.
